The present contribution will address the possibilities of the risk quantification. The theory of risk has been a subject dealt with in many available books by domestic and foreign authors and risk management as such has been a subject of detail research. We can even claim it constitutes an independent part of the theory of economy. The presented papers deal with the quantification of the risk by statistics of the first, second, third and fourth moment and at the same time are focused on the literature retrieval of more than twenty important international authors who deal with this issue.
