Synopses & Reviews
Updating the Current Third Edition of Risk Management in BankingIn updating the 3rd edition, two types of changes have been made, namely streamlining the text and additions. The “streamlining” is largely inspired by the author’s teaching experiences.
(i) Organization of the Text (updating of existing material):
The sections and chapters to be updated include Chapter 5 on banking products, Chapter 10 on distribution functions, Chapter 11 to 14 on returns and prices and Chapter 30 to 34 of Section 9 on “Dependencies”.
(ii) Extensions of the 3rd Edition Text (new material):
The extensions should fill some gaps in the presentations, address new approaches or extend the scope of some concepts:
A Derivatives Section, Additions to the ALM Section, Liquidity Analysis, Optionality in Banking Products, Market Risk Section, Isolating Spread Risk, Credit Portfolio Model Section, Structured Products Section, Lessons from Teaching Courses in Risk Management, The Finance of Financial Firms: Asset-Liability Management, Market Risk and VaR, Credit Risk and Trading Credit Risk and Securitisations.
The conclusion of the text is a wrap-up of the crises and the lessons from the crises mixing new views, such as behavioural finance and nonlinearity of risk.
