"#banks that did well in the #gfc also did well in the #pandemic while banks that did poorly during the GFC also did poorly during the pandemic."
"This article discusses the recent bank failures of #svb and #signaturebank and analyzes the balance sheets of these banks to determine if they were outliers or if they represent a systemic problem in #riskmanagement... Our analysis suggests that SVB and Signature were not representative of the canary in the coal mine and that they do not represent the average risk among #banks, but a classic #bankrun run cannot be precluded."
The findings underscore the importance of inside debt compensation as a #riskmanagement #governance mechanism that alleviates inefficiencies related to #cybersecurity investments.
As more #laws and #legal norms are introduced to enforce #esg standards, directors are required to ensure that their corporation complies with these standards. This encroaches on the #fiduciary relationship between directors and the corporation and weakens the Business Judgment Rule (#bjr) as directors must operate within the law and implement #compliance systems to keep up with the growing #esggoals.
The paper argues that seeing #riskmanagement as a question of defining the partnership between business and government is crucial to improving it rather than focusing solely on the amount of #regulation.Sometimes these partnerships are adversarial, as they can be with government regulation. Other times they are seemingly invisible, such as when society relies on private #insurance markets to manage risk.
It proposes policy changes to reduce the cost and improve the value of #autoinsurance in #canada. The study found that Canadians pay the highest premiums in the world for auto #insurance relative to GDP, with personal injury coverage being the most significant contributor to overall differences. The paper recommends product reforms and addressing #autorepair#fraud to increase consumer choice, reduce disputes, and provide better value.
It highlights the increasing #regulatory focus on #climaterisk faced by #canada's #banks, both domestically through the #osfi and globally through the adoption of guidelines proposed by the #tcfd. As regulators seek to impose more #monitoring, #disclosure, and mitigation obligations on #financialinstitutions, the article raises whether banks' #capitalrequirements should be increased to reflect the #risks associated with #climatechange.
"In this paper we propose efficient #bayesian Hamiltonian #montecarlo method for estimation of #systemicrisk#measures , LRMES, SRISK and ΔCoVaR, and apply it for thirty global systemically important banks and for eighteen largest #us#financialinstitutions over the period of 2000-2020. The systemic risk measures are computed based on the Dynamic Conditional Correlations model with generalized asymmetric #volatility. A policymaker may choose to rank the firms using some quantile of their systemic risk distributions such as 90, 95, or 99% depending on #risk preferences with higher quantiles being more conservative."
Effective #riskmanagement, including #operationalriskmanagement, is crucial for minimizing #financialrisks posed by #operationalrisk. Risk evaluation, which includes assessing potential risks and their #probabilities, is also vital. #bibliometric analysis using #metrics such as citations, networks, co-authorship, and region-based #publications can provide insights into the quality of #research on operational risk and identify gaps. Such analysis reveals a growing interest in the study of operational risk, but also highlights research gaps that need to be addressed for effective risk management.
"This paper considers some univariate and multivariate #operationalrisk#models , in which the #loss severities are modeled by some weakly tail dependent and heavy-tailed positive random variables, and the loss frequency processes are some general counting processes. … The methodology is based on #capitalapproximation within the #baseliii framework (the so-called loss distribution approach)."
