The billions of dollars in additional compliance costs would fall on the shareholders, employees, and customers of U.S. public companies, while the benefits would flow to a handful of large asset management, consulting, and accounting firms."
"Quasi-convexity in probabilistic mixtures is a common and useful property in decision analysis. We study a general class of non-monotone mappings, called the generalized rank-dependent functions, which include the preference models of expected utilities, dual utilities, and rank-dependent utilities as special cases, as well as signed Choquet integrals used in risk management."
"... the appointment of a female risk officer is not sufficient to reduce risk-taking by banks."

"The higher the degree of loss aversion, the lower is the likelihood to invest in other risk management activities is when self-protection is implemented. Our results help to explain the lack of demand for catastrophe insurance or cyber risk insurance and have important implications for corporate risk management and public policy."
"... as liquidity providers, well-capitalized banks support economic adaptation to climate change."
