Description

This book aims to contribute to the literature on risk management and performance, under the challenging context of market frictions characterized by high volatility and uncertainty. Some examples of relevant themes and research questions that might be considered for publication, include, although are not limited to, the following:

- Do shocks transmission can be regulated or arbitrated for being exploited as investment opportunities, under a high uncertainty context?

- Does competition mixed with high uncertainty harms or benefits the financial markets or corporate performance?

- Does small business finance play a critical role for recovering the macro financial stability?

Subjects coverage

This book is planned to trace an original overview on the relationship between competition and performance, with high uncertainty and volatility. It is organized for providing analyses of international cases on risk management and performance. For accomplishing this positioning, both empirical applications on aggregate and corporate level may be considered. Examples of suitable topics are:

1.      Competition

2.      Interdependence

3.      Market frictions

4.      Performance

5.      Risk management

6.      Small business finance
