Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the last few decades, many countries have experienced a bout of severe financial instability that had created devastating impacts on the global economy. How to reduce the systemic risk within a country and/or for all countries around the world, how to cope with it, etc., are critical questions raised by most academics, practitioners and policy makers. This Special Issue aims to collect the latest theoretical and empirical advances in research area of risk modelling and risk management related to the causes, propagation and preventions of financial instability in banking industry, securities market, foreign exchange market and payment system and so on, both within and across countries. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Measuring and modelling risk, stress testing, tools and techniques for financial stability monitoring, financial innovation and financial instability, policy uncertainty, roles of macroprudential tools and monetary policy for financial stability.

Corporate credit ratings remove the information asymmetry between lenders and borrowers to find an equilibrium price. Structured finance ratings, however, are informationally insufficient because the systematic risk of equally rated assets can vary substantially. As I demonstrate in a Monte Carlo analysis, highly-rated structured finance bonds can exhibit far higher non-linear systematic risks than lowly-rated corporate bonds. I value credit instruments under a four-moment CAPM, between and within some markets there is no one-to-one relation between expected loss (rating) and credit spread (pricing). The linear CAPM beta is insufficient, buyers and sellers need also the same information on non-linear risk to have an equilibrium. Full article
