Abstract: | In this article we study coherent risk measures in general economic models where the set of financial positions is an ordered Banach space E and the safe asset an order unit x0 of E. First we study some properties of risk measures. We show that the set of normalized (with respect to x0) price systems is weak star compact and by using this result we prove a maximum attainment representation theorem which improves the one of Jaschke and Küchler (2001). Also we study how a risk measure changes under different safe assets and we show a kind of equivalence between these risk measures. In the sequel we study subspaces of E consisting of financial positions of risk greater or equal to zero and we call these subspaces unsure. We find some criteria and we give examples of these subspaces. In the last section, we combine the unsure subspaces with the theory of price-bubbles of Gilles and LeRoy (1992). |
