Abstract

Unsicherheit wirkt sich sowohl auf individuelle als auch auf kollektive ökonomische Entscheidungen aus. Sie spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Bewertung von Entscheidungskonsequenzen, aber auch bei ökonomischen Prognosen. Im Beitrag geht es um die Messung und um die Wirkung von Unsicherheit auf ökonomische Entscheidungen und Ergebnisse.
