Allocating health care resources under risk: risk aversion and prudence matter
指出在医疗资源配置中，除了风险厌恶，绝对审慎程度也影响最优分配，资源应流向预期结果低于平均的健康状况。
In a recent contribution to this journal, M. Hoel correctly shows that under risk aversion the allocation of health resources should be directed to health conditions for which the expected outcomes are below average. In this letter we show that besides risk aversion, the degree of absolute prudence (to be defined in the text) also matters to obtain an optimal allocation.
