This week our  SWE colloquium speaker is Antoine Bommier, Chair of Integrative Risk Management and Economics, ETH Zürich

Considerations on risk and time preferences: about recursive preferences, household finance and the value of life

In this presentation, the speaker will outline, in a non-technical way, the main features of some research he has developed on risk and time preferences during his career before moving on to discuss specific points developed in his paper “Household finance, recursive preferences and the value of life” (co-authored with Daniel Harenberg and François LeGrand).
