Book excerpt: The man Octavio Paz called a "glacial spark" was a painter for whom intuition always had the last word. But Gunther Gerzso's work has in recent years lacked the in-depth attention it deserves, a situation meant to be righted by Risking the Abstract. Originally conceived in collaboration with the artist, and finished with the help of his widow and sons, this volume and exhibition provide a better understanding of the artist's essential role in shaping an alternative approach to Modernism in Mexico, one that bears an important relationship to Abstract Expressionism in the United States and art informel in Europe.

Download or read book Systemic Risk Measures and Determinants written by María Rodríguez-Moreno and published by Ed. Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the measurement and the determinants of systemic risk, paying special attention to the role of the Credit Default Swaps (CDSs) either as financial instruments containing valuable information about the soundness of the reference institutions or as a market whose distress contributes to potential systemic shocks on the economy. The measurement of systemic risk is addressed from two perspectives, aggregate and individual contribution to systemic risk where the former refers to the level of systemic risk in the overall economy and the latter to the individual contribution of each financial institution to the overall systemic risk. The analysis of the determinants of the individual contribution of financial institutions to systemic risk focuses on the effect of their portfolio holdings of derivatives. Finally, this thesis studies the liquidity commonalities and their determinants in the corporate CDS worldwide markets. The main participants in these markets are systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs) and so abrupt changes in the market liquidity could cause systemic shocks on the overall economy and, as a consequence, could have adverse effects on global stability.

This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,7, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, language: English, abstract: Risk Management systems are used by nearly every company nowadays, also because of increasing regulatory requirements like the Sarbanes Oxley Act from 2002 or Solvency II from 2016. These frameworks call for an integrated perspective on firms' risk portfolios. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a risk management system that considers risk on the entity level and is, therefore, an alternative to traditional, silo-based risk management approaches. This literature review compares the results of 25 empirical studies concerning the value-creating potential of ERM and whether companies might benefit from the implementation.
