Risk diversification is the basis of insurance and investment. It is thus crucial to study the effects that could limit … it. One of them is the existence of systemic risk that affects all of the policies at the same time. We introduce here a … probabilistic approach to examine the consequences of its presence on the risk loading of the premium of a portfolio of insurance …

rationale behind the bans was that "bear raids", driven by short-sellers, would increase the individual and systemic risk of … specifically target institutions with lower capital levels. Furthermore, institutions' risk-levels and changes in short …

The paper studies risk mitigation associated with capital regulation, in a context when banks may choose tail risk … assets. We show that this undermines the traditional result that higher capital reduces excess risk-taking driven by limited … liability. When capital raising is costly, poorly capitalized banks may limit risk to avoid breaching the minimal capital ratio …
