Project-competence has a role in perceived risk. Our research objective was to detect project-actors' presumptions about performance risk in relation to the supplier's expected performance. We investigated investment projects with significant and insignificant tangible content. By exploring...

We investigate the impact of counterparty risk on contract design in the reinsurance market. We study a multiplicative default risk model, with partial recovery and where the probability of the reinsurer's default depends on the loss incurred by the insurer. The seller is assumed to be...

Assets and Liabilities Management (ALM) is a dynamic process of planning, organizing, coordinating and controlling the assets and liabilities – their mixes, volumes, maturities, yields and costs in order to achieve a specified Net Interest Income (NII). The NII is the difference between...

The current literature on the adoption of enterprise risk management (ERM) abstracts from the issue of its strategic context. Accounting for the interplay between ERM and various individual risk management (IRM) practices, this paper presents a theoretical basis to study the strategic...

Many practitioners annualize VaR just like the standard deviation. We show that this approach is incorrect, and a more sophisticated formula should be used for deriving a periodic VaR from parameters of the daily returns distribution. Another problem addressed here is the distribution of daily...

Few microfinance-funded businesses grow beyond subsistence entrepreneurship. This paper considers one possible explanation: that the structure of existing microfinance contracts may discourage risky but high-expected return investments. To explore this possibility, I develop a theory that...

Estimating accurate probabilities of Meeting Financial Commitments is crucial for both short- and long-term decision making. It is well known, that for a variety of reasons, that individuals and teams, on average, overestimate the probability of success. In this article we discuss the results of...

• This paper broadens the perspective on sustainable distributions by expanding into three dimensions, introducing transitory states as well as all those states existing simultaneously.• Withdrawal rates alone do not tell a complete sustainable distribution story; withdrawal rates are time...

Risk management means making steps in order to identify those risks with a highly probability of causing problems to a project, to analyze the probability of loss and the magnitude of loss for each risk and developing composed risks, to classify the risk points identified according to the...

Risks management studies in the agri-food sector predominately focus on the technical methods and the capability to perceive, prevent, mitigate, and recover from diverse risks. In most economic publications the risks are usually studied as other commodity regulated by the market supply and...
