This work shows that, in a two-period framework, prudence has a positive effect on optimal prevention. This conclusion is the opposite to that obtained in a one-period framework [Eeckhoudt L., Gollier C., 2005. The impact of prudence on optimal prevention. Economic Theory 26, 989-994].

Abstract

This work shows that, in a two-period framework, prudence has a positive effect on optimal prevention. This conclusion is the opposite to that obtained in a one-period framework [Eeckhoudt L., Gollier C., 2005. The impact of prudence on optimal prevention. Economic Theory 26, 989-994]. This is due to the opposite effect of prevention on wealth in the period where the risk occurs.
