摘要
Economic decision making under uncertainty often takes place in the presence of multiple risks and in markets that are less than complete. As a consequence, choices about endogenous risks sometimes must be made while simultaneously facing one or more immutable exogenous 'background risks' that are not under the control of the agent, and that are independent of endogenous risks.
