| Zusammenfassung |
| This comment is meant to shed some light on the use of so-called "risk
aversion functions" in the management of flood risks and other natural
hazards as recently proposed in this journal (Merz et al., 2009). In particular, I
resume the discussion as to whether the relative damage is a suitable
indicator of risk aversion and lay out why the use of this indicator may lead
to inefficient decisions upon flood mitigation measures. |
