Abstract

The so-called risk diversification principle is analyzed, showing that its convenience depends on individual characteristics of the risks involved and the dependence relationship among them. || Se analiza el principio de diversificación de riesgos y se demuestra que no siempre resulta mejor que no diversificar, pues esto depende de características individuales de los riesgos involucrados, así como de la relación de dependencia entre los mismos.
