Risk, Discretion, and Bank Supervision

"... the new Climate Risk Division will integrate climate risks into its supervision of regulated entities, support the industry’s growth in managing climate risks, coordinate with international, national, and state regulators, develop internal capacity on climate-related financial risks, support the capacity-building of peer regulators on climate-related supervision, and ensure fair access to financial services for all communities, especially those most impacted by climate change.

The Effect of Malicious Cyber Activity on the U.S. Corporate Sector

"We compile a comprehensive dataset of adverse #cyberevents experienced by #us firms. We then categorize #cyberincidents by their detrimental impacts on firms' assets and operations, e.g., #datatheft, #ransomwareattacks, #securitybreaches, #denialofservice attacks, and show that firms suffer significant value losses across multiple cyber categories."

Shocks to Transition Risk

We propose and implement a method to identify shocks to #transitionrisk addressing key challenges regarding its definition and #measurement. Our shocks are instances where significant new information about the economic relevance of climate change increases the valuation of #greenfirms over #brownfirms. To illustrate our method, we identify shocks to transition risk in the #us. These shocks have important aggregate effects, also inducing #financialinstability. They are associated with events that increase the likelihood of an orderly transition, and they specifically affect parts of the economy related to #fossilfuels and #energy. We show that these main results carry over to #de and the #uk. Still, we find an important role for country specificities.

The Information Value of Past Losses in Operational Risk

"We show that past operational losses are informative of future losses, even after controlling for a wide range of financial characteristics. We propose that the information provided by past losses results from them capturing hard to quantify factors such as the quality of operational risk controls, the risk culture, and the risk appetite of the bank."

The SEC’s Climate Disclosure Risk Proposal Threatens an End‑Run around Congress on Climate Policy

Date : Tags : , , , , , , ,
"The proposed climate disclosure rule is unnecessary, unjustified, and an expensive exercise in environmental bureaucracy with little to no practical benefit for U.S. investors. The billions of dollars in additional compliance costs would fall on the shareholders, employees, and customers of U.S. public companies, while the benefits would flow to a handful of large asset management, consulting, and accounting firms."

Should Bank Stress Tests Be Fair?

Date : Tags : , , , , , ,
"We argue that simply pooling data across banks treats banks equally but is subject to two deficiencies: it may distort the impact of legitimate portfolio features, and it is vulnerable to implicit misdirection of legitimate information to infer bank identity. We compare various notions of regression fairness to address these deficiencies, considering both forecast accuracy and equal treatment. In the setting of linear models, we argue for estimating and then discarding centered bank fixed effects as preferable to simply ignoring differences across banks."
