Risque, incertitude et anticipations en économie

Abstract: Knight?s 1921 distinction between a risk, defined as a future event to which a probability of occurrence can be given, and an uncertainty, which is an event to which no probability can be attributed, has historically been set aside by mainstream economic theory to explain how economic agents foresee the future. Nevertheless, the concept of uncertainty currently seems to be regaining popularity and challenging existing theories of expectations.
