Description
This authoritative volume charts the origins, development, and current frontiers of financial risk management. It emphasizes the role for risk management created by real-world market imperfections, and progresses to consider stochastic financial modeling, the failure of 'normality', and time-varying volatility. Professor Diebold has selected seminal papers by leading academics which cover multiple markets (equities, bonds, etc.), univariate and multivariate perspectives, connectedness and systemic risks, and stress testing. The collection, along with an original introduction by the editor, will be of interest to academics, market participants, and policy-makers, particularly as we chart a new course following the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
Reviews / Votes
'I have always thought authoritative lists such as "100 books you should read" are fascinating. So it is great to also have such a list available in one's professional field. Professor Diebold's book does just that; it compiles his list of academic research articles one should know in risk measurement and management. Through his central position in financial econometrics, based on his own extensive research, Professor Diebold is one of the few who can make such a list. . . Professor Diebold's fascinating compilation summarizes the history of risk management research, focussing on research prior to the global financial crisis.' -- Esa Jokivuolle, SUERF 'This collection of papers is an essential set of references for anyone involved in risk management, both in academia and in industry.'- Andrew Lo, MIT Sloan Management, USMore details
