Risk Management and Regulation in Banking: Proceedings of the International Conference on Risk Management and Regulation in Banking (1997) / Edition 1

by Dan Galai, David Ruthenberg, Marshall Sarnat, Ben Z. Schreiber

Overview

Over the last fifty years, increasingly sophisticated risk measurement and management techniques have revolutionized the field of finance. More recently, the globalization of financial markets and policy changes in the regulation of financial institutions have impacted upon how commercial banks manage risk. The widespread implications of these fundamental changes prompted an international conference held in May, 1997, devoted to the topic of risk management and regulation in banking. This book contains the formal papers and the panel discussions that comprise the conference proceedings, and thus collects some of the latest research on managing financial market risk by top scholars, policymakers, and high-ranking banking officials from around the world.
