Mark Machina is a Fellow at the Amercian Academy of Arts and Sciences and has taught at Columbia University, the University of Cambridge, Princeton University, the People's University of China in Beijing, Duke University, and the University of Wyoming. W. Kip Viscusi is the award-winning author of more than 20 books and 300 articles, most of which deal with different aspects of health and safety risks. His pathbreaking research had addressed a wide range of individual and societal responses to risk and uncertainty, including risky behaviors, governmental regulation, and tort liability.

"The Handbook of the Economics of Risk and Uncertainty is sure to find a welcome spot on the reading and reference lists of all modern teachers, researchers, and students of risk management. It is a scholarly and timely collection of cutting-edge theory and measurement, market analysis, and experimental findings, contributed by leading names in the field." --Olivia S. Mitchell, University of Pennsylvania"This is a first-rate volume covering both the theory and empirical contributions.  The Handbook gives students and researchers an excellent introduction to state-of-the-art work in risk and uncertainty.  This is a essential reference for researchers working in the field." --Dan A. Black, University of Chicago
