This model is of interest as it provides a plausible linkage between risk and expected return of financial assets.
The linkage between risk and returns is made crystal clear by the fact that universities that employed a more conservative approach to investing may have had losses that were significantly lower than ours last year, but they also had much lower annualized returns over the last 10 years.
Following data linkage, the risk of STIs and BBVs associated with Aboriginality was found to decrease.
For many markers (e.g., of apoptosis, cell division), the linkage to risk is highly uncertain (Woodruff et al. 2008), so the ranges of possible variability may be very large.
In contrast, although there is increasing genetic evidence for linkage of risk of coronary artery disease with variants in the epidermal growth factor domain adjacent to the C-type carbohydrate-recognition domain of E-selectin [ 62], recent attempts to verify previous suggestions that these changes alter the sugar-binding activity of the receptor have been unsuccessful [ 63 ].
The affect heuristic (Finucane et al. 2000; King and Slovic 2014; Slovic et al. 2007) focuses on this linkage between risks and emotions, proposing that people use their affective, emotional response to a risk to judge its impact and occurrence probability.
The latter has long sought to deal with issues one-by-one because, through linkage, it risks getting disadvantaged on all fronts.
In this respect, this study contributes to the literature on the linkage between farmers' risk preferences and their weather index insurance uptake decisions in rural China.
This is consistent with standard economic theory and the existing literature on the linkage between individuals' risk preferences and insurance uptake decisions (Petrolia et al. 2013; Simon and Fiorentino 2014).
To identify the linkage between farmers' risk preferences and their decisions on purchasing the wheat weather index insurance, we performed regressions using the logistic model (Panda et al. 2013; Solomon et al. 2014).
