Résumé

This book will bring together the collective wisdom of the three leading firms in this area (AIR Worldwide, EQECAT, RMS) with the Wharton team on how to assess the risk from natural hazards.

It will explicitly address uncertainty in the context of catastrophe modeling, illustrating the nature of uncertainty in different case studies (e.g., Charleston, South Carolina region)

The authors will illustrate the linkage of risk assessment and risk management through insurance rate making, insurance portfolio management and risk financing, and how uncertainty and risk transfer mechanisms affects the analysis of mitigation using three model cities (Oakland, Long Beach, Miami/Dade County).

Howard C. Kunreuther is the Cecilia Yen Koo Professor of Decision Sciences and Public Policy and Management, and Codirector of the Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the Wharton School.
