Crisis, Risk and Stability in Financial Markets

The current economic crisis has made an enormous impact on the behaviour of financial markets and institutions. Crisis Risk and Stability in Financial Markets provides an in-depth examination of some of the key aspects of the behaviour of financial institutions during the crisis. The book covers a selection of papers from the European Association of University Teachers of Banking and Finance Conference (otherwise known as the Woltpertinger Conference) held at the University of Valencia, Spain, in September 2011.

Covering a variety of different subjects, from the behaviour of rating agencies, bank performance in the crisis, banking regulation and its impact on bank management, Crisis, Stability and Risk in Financial Markets also sheds light on the implications of bank stability on economic growth, the impact of globalisation on financial stability, and the importance of stock exchange mergers. The authors also address topics as diverse as microinsurance and social lending.
