Abstract

Defining the outputs of the property insurance and gambling sectors of an economy has proved to be a difficult problem for national income accountants. It is well known that the traditional expected-utility model is not consistent with economic agents fully insuring their property. Thus the present paper adapts existing non-expected-utility theories to yield useful measures of output for the property insurance and gambling sectors. The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance Theory (1995) 20, 135–150. doi:10.1007/BF01098962
