Monetary risk measures are studied here in terms of acceptable outcomes, normalized non-negative prices, and resulting shortfalls. At center stage stand convex analysis, saddle functions and associated max-min formulae. The latter comply with common sense and established theory.
Keywords: Convex risk measures, normalized prices, max-min shortfall, asset pricing, ambiguity aversion.
