Abstract:
We present a framework for the measurement and management of
financial risk. We review coherent measures of risk, suitable for risk
regulation, and extend it to risk measures consistent with the preferences
of a representative investor. We consider a "Markowitz-style"
formulation
of the firm's decision problem. Finally, we introduce an internal market
for the trading of risk limits which has an equilibrium yielding the
optimal solution for the firm.
