We examine the effects of price disclosure on market performance in a continuous experimental multiple-dealer market in which seven professional market-makers trade a single security. The dealers trade with one another and with computerized informed and liquidity traders. Our key comparison is...

The Securities and Exchange Commission's Form PF is the implementation of Congress's post-crisis mandate for risk reporting by hedge funds to help protect investors and monitor systemic risk. We extend the methodology of Flood, Monin, and Bandyopadhyay [2015] to assess the risk measurement...

We examine the consequences of transparency in an experimental multiple-dealer market with asymmetrically informed dealers. Five professional securities traders make a market for a single security. In each trading round, one of the dealers (the quot;insiderquot;) is told the security's true...

We provide an introduction and overview to the field of risk management for interested non-specialists, with a particular focus on the data and information requirements. Data for risk management come in many forms, and the applications of risk information for managing credit, market,...

This chapter presents the historical context for the current state of financial information and risk management. In lieu of a comprehensive history, the authors discuss several broad historical themes in risk and finance: institutionalization, technology, globalization, and complexity, including...

This chapter provides an overview of data collection for microprudential supervision in one of the most highly regulated parts of the U.S. financial sector, the banking industry. The process is dominated by a combination of on-site examinations and off-site data collection. We pay particular...

We provide a survey of 31 quantitative measures of systemic risk in the economics and finance literature, chosen to span key themes and issues in systemic risk measurement and management. We motivate these measures from the supervisory, research, and data perspectives in the main text, and...

We show that the fundamental legal structure of a well-written financial contract follows a state-transition logic that can be formalized mathematically as a finite-state machine (specifically, a deterministic finite automaton or DFA). The automaton defines the states that a financial...

This paper examines the precision of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Form PF as an instrument for measuring market risk exposures in the hedge fund industry. We introduce a novel methodology that systematically presents the measurement instrument, Form PF, with a range of simulated...

We explore statistical commonalities among granular measures of market liquidity with the goal of illuminating systemwide patterns in aggregate liquidity. We calculate daily invariant price impacts described by Kyle and Obizhaeva [2014] to assemble a granular panel of liquidity measures for...
