economics of risk and information


Explanation:
The asker has given two versions of the phrase, but the first gets lots of Google hits and the second almost none.

Example sentence(s):
  • His other interests include the economics of risk and information...
  • The economics of risk and information – he has written several papers on the adverse selection, the value of information, and the design of insurance contracts with imperfect information.

agree  nweatherdon: I must have been distracted by something :) / It is important to have the two separated, and not treat risk and information as part of the same type of analysis. Risk and information are analyzed using completely different methods. Not smooth is better.

Economics of Risk and Information


Explanation:
Probably this is OK, but if you want it to be 100% clear that these are two areas of study (which they are) then "Economics of Risk and of Information" will do the trick.

The economics of risk has to do with ways of modelling risk aversion, typically expressed as risk loving or risk averse, and these are mathematical conditions. Then, how this affects economic decisions.

Economics of information is a little different, and less established. I don't think there's a mainstream paradigm here. But basically, that when you have less information then the quality of decision making is lower. It involves analysis of costs of getting information, costs of digesting or being able to make use of information, and the end effects that this may have on the quality of decisions made.
