Spanish term
riesgos extensivos
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Insurance
These are usually "Fenómenos atmosféricos y otros (actos de vandalismo, impacto de vehículos, etc.)". However, as far as I can see, they are not called "Extensive risks" in English (except when they occur in texts translated from Spanish!). Is there an accepted term in English for this concept?

Extended perils
"Perils" would normally be used where specific causes of loss are listed, rather than "risks", because "risks" could be ambiguous since it could also mean the properties insured.

Comment: "Thanks. "Risks" vs. "Perils" is always a doubt I have as well, so very useful all round!"

Note from asker:
| Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think the idea here is whether the risk is high or not - it seems to be more of a recognised category of risks. |

extended (catastrophic) risks
Local Risks vs Extended Risks
John P. Hussman, Ph.D.

Skydiving and basketball involve two very different risks. Skydiving risks the entire outcome on one trial. A single error can be catastrophic, and the potential risks are virtually unlimited. These are what I call “extended risks.” Basketball, in contrast, is a game where the outcome depends on dozens and dozens of individual actions. If a particular action doesn't work, the result is a two-point loss. Even a great team can have enough of those to affect a particular game, but the results at the end of the season represent the return from hundreds or even thousands of individual risks - all important contributions, but none decisive nor catastrophic. These are what I call “local risks.”

The success of enterprises' technological innovation is finally reflected in that the products can be spread through the market. Therefore, analysis of risks in technological innovation from the market angle has special significance. Considered that the market risks in technological innovation can be divided into the delivered and extended risks, and the risks of the market itself, a new evaluation index system of market risks in technological innovation is structured by AHP, and multistage fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used in the evaluation and discernment. Towards the weight of the delivered and extended risks included in the index, this paper puts variable weight analysis into effect, which makes the evaluation of the market risks in technological innovation more actual. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/3169382?bs=1#marker_submit

| I agree with "extended risks", though not "catastrophic" as the category seems to include non-catastrophic events as well. Thanks for making the suggestion - much appreciated. |
