  • Quiggin, John

Abstract

This article is a brief outline of the implications of state-contingent production for the self-insurance problem. A general state-contingent approach to choice and production under uncertainty is presented. Upper and lower bounds for willingness-to-pay for reductions in ambient risk are derived.
