The paper theoretically extends the idea of the rate of substitution of one risk change for another. We provide a generalized definition of the rate of substitution between two risk changes beginning with different starting risks. It is demonstrated that our generalized version can be used to compare two agents’ attitudes towards risk according to the Ross risk averse order. Moreover, we find that it provides additional insight into the probability premium approach to comparative risk aversion.
