Classics in Risk Management

Edited by W. Kip Viscusi, Vanderbilt Law School, Vanderbilt University and Ted Gayer, The Brookings Institute, US

This two-volume collection of key papers by leading scholars provides a comprehensive perspective on the evaluation and performance of risk regulation policies.

‘Major government entities, banking and finance, insurance in particular and manufacturing and distribution entities would get clear value from these two fine reference works. They obviously have a major place in universities and institutions devoted to primary analysis but proffer such a broad field that to discount them may be taking a risk in itself.’
– Geoffrey N. De Lacy, Australian Institute of Company Directors

‘Kip Viscusi’s research has defined the rational economic approach to risk policy for nearly 25 years since his first book on the subject appeared in 1979. The Viscusi–Gayer two-volume set assembles a significant subset of the risk literature relying on the rational economic perspective.’
