Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to identify challenges and solutions related to the risks and uncertainties that arise in financial markets. It will feature papers on complex topics, exploring the following themes:
- General equilibrium models in which the distinction between uncertainty and risk is formalized by assuming that there are several types of financial markets;
- How uncertainties in financial markets can affect client decisions;
- How the firm’s role in helping these clients may mitigate risks, and how shifting market dynamics can often present strategic opportunities for clients and financial markets;
- The impact of uncertainty shocks on investment and consumption;
- How financial frictions can play an important role in transmitting uncertainty shocks;
- The impact of investor sentiments on financial markets’ volatilities.
This Special Issue welcomes empirical studies on a wide range of relevant topics including, but not limited to, the points indicated above.
We welcome contributions covering all the major areas of financial markets, uncertainty, and risk.
