The Future of Risk Management, edited by Howard Kunreuther, Robert J. Meyer and Erwann O. Michel-Kerjan
Highlighting past research, recent discoveries, and open questions, this book provides scholars, businesses, civil servants, and the concerned public tools for making more informed decisions and developing long-term strategies for reducing future losses from potentially catastrophic events.
Mastering Catastrophic Risk by Howard Kunreuther and Michael Useem
Decision makers are often reluctant to incur upfront costs for loss mitigation measures because the near-term payoffs do not appear to justify the expenditure. This book provides real-world practical insights into how large companies are responding to this new reality and develops a framework for smarter thinking about events that can damage a business.
The Ostrich Paradox: Why We Underprepare for Disasters by Robert Meyer and Howard Kunreuther
Our ability to foresee and protect against natural catastrophes has never been greater, yet we fail to heed the warnings and protect ourselves and our communities. In our book we characterize six decision-making biases that cause individuals, communities and organizations to underinvest in protection against low-probability, high-consequence events.
