A quirky artist must unravel her parent's secret past before the mob erases her future. But will the protection of a handsome homicide detective be her only hope of surviving the Big Easy? Nell Whitby is starting over in New Orleans, getting a publisher for her children's book, sketching tourists in the French Quarter, and leaving the tragic death of her parents behind. When a handsome detective asks her for a date, her fresh start seems perfect...until a dangerous family secret bubbles up from the past and puts her life in jeopardy. The oldest of thirteen children, detective Alex Baker has two goals in life: solve murders and avoid anyone under the age of ten. That is, until the day the quirky children's book author foils a carjacking, becomes a target for the mob, and makes his libido sit up and reconsider the whole no-kids thing. If he doesn't protect her, she'll be the next body to turn up in his homicide investigation. As bullets start to fly, Nell can't resist her sexy bodyguard or ignore her past, and Alex must protect the irresistible kid-magnet who has them both in the crosshairs.

Combining a standard measure of concern about low relative wealth and a standard measure of relative risk aversion leads to a novel explanation of variation in risk-taking behavior identified and documented by social psychologists and economists. We obtain two results: (1) Holding individual i’s wealth and his rank in the wealth distribution constant, the individual’s relative risk aversion decreases when he becomes more relatively deprived as a result of an increase in the average wealth of the individuals who are wealthier than he is. (2) If relative deprivation enters the individual’s utility function approximately linearly then, holding constant individual i’s wealth and the average wealth of the individuals who are wealthier than he is, the individual’s relative risk aversion decreases when he becomes more relatively deprived as a result of a decline in his rank. Our findings provide a theoretical support for evidence about the propensity of relatively deprived individuals to gamble and resort to other risky behaviors.

Excerpt from Risky and Cautious Shifts in Group Decisions: The Influence of Widely Held Values An extensive series of studies has shown that group de cisions on life situation items involving a risky dimension are significantly different from the average of the initial individual decisions of the members of the group. The present study investigates the possibility that widely held values and individuals' perceptions of their own riskiness relative to other people like them are important factors in in dividual and group decisions on life situation items. Initial individual decisions on the items are found to be consistent with widely held values as assessed on a separate instrument. Significant differences between individuals' perceptions of their own riskiness and that of other people like them are also found. The life situation items were divided into two types of items on the bases of widely held values and the subjects' per ceptions of their own relative riskiness. For items on which the widely held values favored the risky alternative and on which subjects considered themselves relatively risky, unani mous group decisions were more risky than the average of the initial individual decisions. The group decisions tended to be more cautious on items for which widely held values favored the cautious alternative and on which subjects considered themselves relatively cautious.

The Debate On Sovereign Risk Safe Assets And The Risk Free Rate written by Hans J. Blommestein and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013 with categories.
This paper seeks to eliminate or reduce confusions about (related) key concepts such as the risk free rate, safe assets and sovereign risk in policy and academic discussions. A lack of consensus and confusions on how to define, measure and price “sovereign risk” is an important obstacle in assessing sovereign stress. Safe assets are considered to be virtually default-free in this paper. These so-called safe assets function as so-called information-insensitive instruments (they serve as money with associated basic functions of money such as collateral and backing of checkable deposits of commercial banks and money market funds). The return on these assets is the (relatively) risk free rate. Pricing of risky assets involves assessing or evaluating the risk dimensions of relative asset safety. A major complication is that the market is often driven by emotions or animal spirits. Sometimes emotions change rapidly, having an important impact on the (mis)pricing of relative safe assets and sovereign risk. The track-record of sovereign risk pricing is not very impressive with prolonged period of risk underpricing (excessively compressed spreads), followed by risk overpricing (sudden widening of spreads). Market measures (including ratings) seem therefore not very reliable. One should, therefore, be very cautious in concluding that the sovereign debt of an OECD country has indeed lost its risk-free status. The strategic core objective of debt managers is to raise funds at lowest possible costs subject to a preferred risk level. This implies for the sovereign: issuing (relatively) risk free sovereign debt and guarding this relatively risk free status. This objective is further supported by the importance of the supply of safe sovereign assets for the functioning of the financial system (for allocating resources, pricing benchmarks, and as a collateral source).Clarity and consistency are necessary conditions for the proper pricing of sovereign risk. The proper pricing of sovereign risk has also implications for the economy as a whole (via the impact on risk-weight rules for capital adequacy of banks, posting sovereign debt as collateral, the pricing of bonds issued by banks and other non-governmental entities). The transition from a (relatively) risk-free asset to a (relatively) risky asset has therefore major macro and micro financial implications.
