Daniel Kahneman - Thinking, Fast and Slow

Speaking of Availability
“Because of the coincidence of two planes crashing last month, she now prefers to
take the train. That’s silly. The risk hasn’t really changed; it is an availability bias.”


“He underestimates the risks of indoor pollution because there are few media stories
on them. That’s an availability effect. He should look at the statistics.”
“She has been watching too many spy movies recently, so she’s seeing conspiracies
everywhere.”
“The CEO has had several successes in a row, so failure doesn’t come easily to her
mind. The availability bias is making her overconfident.”

Availability, Emotion, and Risk
Students of risk were quick to see that the idea of availability was relevant to their
concerns. Even before our work was published, the economist Howard Kunreuther, who
was then in the early stages of a career that he has devoted to the study of risk and
insurance, noticed that availability effects help explain the pattern of insurance purchase
and protective action after disasters. Victims and near victims are very concerned after a
disaster. After each significant earthquake, Californians are for a while diligent in
purchasing insurance and adopting measures of protection and mitigation. They tie down
their boiler to reduce quake damage, seal their basement doors against floods, and
maintain emergency supplies in good order. However, the memories of the disaster dim
over time, and so do worry and diligence. The dynamics of memory help explain the
recurrent cycles of disaster, concern, and growing complacency that are familiar to
students of large-scale emergencies.
Kunreuther also observed that protective actions, whether by individuals or
governments, are usually designed to be adequate to the worst disaster actually
experienced. As long ago as pharaonic Egypt, societies have tracked the high-water mark
of rivers that periodically flood—and have always prepared accordingly, apparently
assuming that floods will not rise higher than the existing high-water mark. Images of a
worse disaster do not come easily to mind.
