The objective of this paper is to propose a model to assess risk for banks. Its main innovation is to incorporate … endogenous interaction between banks, recognising that the actual risk to which an individual bank is exposed also depends on its … data and therefore can be implemented as a risk assessment tool for financial regulators and central banks. We address the …

assumptions. We accomplish this by relying on the plausible joint frictions of immediacy risk (excution risk) and asset …

In this paper we compare overall as well as downside risk measures with respect to the criteria of first and second … order stochastic dominance. While the downside risk measures, with the exception of tail conditional expectation, are … consistent with first order stochastic dominance, overall risk measures are not, even if we restrict ourselves to two …

This paper investigates the relationship between infation uncertainty and investment using a panel of loan-level data … investment. Moreover, there is a shift in the composition of investment away from fixed assets and towards working capital - the … more flexible factor of production - and fixed asset investment exhibits periods of inaction consistent with real option …
