Recenzje

Nyman's A Theory of Insurance and Gambling builds on his groundbreaking analysis of the demand for and welfare effects of health insurance, extending it to insurance in general and to unidentified parallels between the demand for insurance and the demand for gambling. In each area he provides a compelling critique of conventional theories, grounded in empirical evidence, while offering alternative models and insights that align with both intuition and evidence. This is an important book for anyone interested in insurance and gambling.
