Rational Risk Policy provides a comprehensive and accessible synthesis of Viscusi's important and well-known work on risk policy. The new material developed in this book explores the various forms of irrationality exemplified in individual risk behaviour, and the role government policy has played in institutionalizing these same kinds of biases. The author develops principles for a more rational approach to risk policy.
