本章回顾了过去50年来风险和保险经济学的演变，首先回顾了1973年的情况，然后介绍了自那时以来蓬勃发展的发展和新方法。我们认为，这些发展之所以成为可能，是因为风险和不确定性经济学以及金融理论取得了稳步的进步。保险经济学的重要性日益增长，已成为现代经济学的一个中心主题，它不仅提供了实际的例子和原始数据来说明新的理论，而且还激发了与整个经济相关的新思想。
This chapter reviews the evolution in risk and insurance economics over the past 50 years, first recalling the situation in 1973 and then presenting the developments and new approaches that have flourished since then. We argue that these developments were only possible because steady advances were made in the economics of risk and uncertainty and in financial theory. Insurance economics has grown in importance to become a central theme in modern economics, providing not only practical examples and original data to illustrate new theories but also inspiring new ideas that are relevant to the overall economy.
