Complete Monotonicity, Background Risk, and Risk Aversion.

This paper analyzes how the statistical properties of a risk affect the attitutde of individuals towards accepting another independent risk. We conduct the analysis for the class of increasing utility functions having all their derivatives with alternating sign.RISK;DECISION MAKING;UNCERTAINTY

New Measurements of the 81Kr Atmospheric Abundance

We have determined the 81Kr activity to be (0.067 +/- 0.003) decay/min. 1 krypton. Using this activity in conjunction with our new measurement of the 80 KR(n,y)81Kr reaction cross-section of (12 +/- 4)b, we infer that the 81Kr activity is 1.5-2.0 times that which would be calculated calculated using the current cosmic ray flux. This implies that the average cosmic ray intensity in the atmosphere during the 81Kr life-time was greater than the current intensity, a fact that has implications for the 14C time scale.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between Radiocarbon and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Radiocarbon archives are made available by Radiocarbon and the University of Arizona Libraries.
