A bibliometric review of sukuk literature
2023
Abstract Sukuk (Islamic bonds) are one of the Islamic finance sectors that have experienced the fastest growth during the last decade. Using a quali-quantitative approach known as meta-literature review, the aim of this paper is to survey the sukuk literature over the period 1950–2018. In total we review and analyze 80 papers through bibliometric citation analysis (using HistCite and VOSviewer software) coupled with content analysis. We show the influential aspects of the literature, such as countries, institutions, journals, authors, articles and topics. We also present the co-authorship network and identify three research streams: (1) sukuk overview and growth, (2) sukuk and finance theor…
Interest Rate Risk in Banking: a Theoretical and Empirical Investigation through a Systemic Approach (Asset & Liability Management).
2013
The paper provides a theoretical analysis of the interest rate risk in banking through a systemic approach that is known in literature as “asset & liability management” approach. The paper provides also an empirical investigation on the exposure of banks to interest rate risk, using three different scenarios: parallel shift, slope shift, and bump shift of interest rate curves.
Le scelte strategiche e operative delle banche locali nelle regioni dei distretti tecnologici italiani
2011
Con questo lavoro si intende verificare se si sono manifestati dei cambiamenti associati alla crisi finanziaria globale nelle scelte operative, strategiche e attinenti la natura dell’offerta della particolare categoria di intermediario finanziario rappresentata dalle banche locali. Si cercherà di verificare se quest’ultima tipologia di intermediario, sfruttando i propri punti di forza connessi alla vocazione territoriale delle scelte strategiche incentrate sulla filosofia del relationship lending che pone come valore di riferimento il cliente e di conseguenza alla disponibilità di un portafoglio informativo sulle esigenze del cliente molto più ampio sia stata grado di offrire alla clientela…
Catastrophic risks and the pricing of catastrophe equity put options
2021
In this paper, after a review of the most common financial strategies and products that insurance companies use to hedge catastrophic risks, we study an option pricing model based on processes with jumps where the catastrophic event is captured by a compound Poisson process with negative jumps. Given the importance that catastrophe equity put options (CatEPuts) have in this context, we introduce a pricing approach that provides not only a theoretical contribution whose applicability remains confined to purely numerical examples and experiments, but which can be implemented starting from real data and applied to the evaluation of real CatEPuts. We propose a calibration framework based on his…
An empirical investigation into market risk disclosure: is there room to improve for Italian banks?
2020
PurposeThis paper aims to examine the market risk disclosure practices of large Italian banks. The contribution provides insights on the way banks should provide information about market risk. The problem related to the asymmetric information between banks from one side, and investors and stakeholders on the other, represents a crucial issue that requires further considerations by scholars and regulators.Design/methodology/approachThis contribution adopts a mixed methodological approach to analyse both qualitative and quantitative profiles of market risk disclosure in banking. This paper analyses the most important documents Italian banks are required to prepare for risk disclosure purposes…
Market risk reporting in banking overcoming the limits of IAS/IFRS and Basel regulation
2017
Market risk in banking activity is becoming a more severe issue day by day for several reasons. Analysing it from a regulatory point of view is fundamental for assessing whether or not banks are in the conditions of disclosing a satisfactory degree of information about their market risk exposure. The two regulatory constraints to consider are International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) and the Basel regulation. Both of them seem to put too many constraints on banks. They turn out to be over-over-regulated. Even if regulators put many efforts in trying to provide a useful regulation for banks' risk reporting and capital adequacy, we are still far from a good regulation. The regulatory proc…
Risk committee complexity and liquidity risk in the European banking industry
2021
Abstract The present study aims to investigate how bank governance characteristics are related to liquidity risk by analysing board composition, gender, and the risk committee. A dynamic panel data model is employed on a sample of European banks during the period after the financial crisis (from 2011 to 2017). Furthermore, we collect information about the profiles of the directors on the boards of banks, thereby creating five categories of risk committee members. To address the endogeneity issue, a generalised method of moments two-step estimator is implemented. The findings highlight that the fundamental role of the risk committee adequately shields banks against general liquidity risks. M…
"I RIFLESSI STRATEGICI ORGANIZZATIVI E CONTABILI DEI PRINCIPI CONTABILI INTERNAZIONALI NELLE IMPRESE BANCARIE"
2008
Questo lavoro fornisce una prima ricognizione degli effetti che l’adozione dei principi contabili internazionali da parte delle imprese bancarie ha comportato, da un punto di vista sia strettamente contabile sia organizzativo. In particolare, sono stati oggetto di analisi i principi che disciplinano il trattamento contabile e la disclosure delle voci di bilancio di natura finanziaria, e quindi i principi IAS 32, IAS 39 e IFRS 7. Nella prima parte del lavoro sono state esposte le principali novità introdotte da questi principi, dando particolare rilievo al criterio del fair value ed al diverso trattamento previsto per gli strumenti derivati rispetto alla precedente prassi contabile. Nella se…
¿Son los bancos empresas especiales a los efectos de su regulación?
2004
Victor.E.Barrios@uv.es El poder coercitivo del Estado en el control y supervisión de las empresas alcanza uno de sus máximos exponentes en el caso de los bancos, sujetos a una regulación prudencial específica, de dimensión desconocida en otros sectores. La naturaleza especial de estas empresas, su potencial fragilidad y su estrecha vinculación con el crecimiento económico parecen argumentos suficientes para justificar este resultado, si bien la confirmación de esta hipótesis será uno de los objetivos de este trabajo. En una segunda etapa, una vez hemos confirmado que los bancos pueden ser empresas candidatas para una regulación específica, comprobaremos que efectivamente los principios que …
Derivative Disclosure Practices in the Annual Financial Reporting of Large European Banks: A Cross-country Empirical Study
2018
The topic of this paper is derivative reporting in banking. The authors employ content analysis to conduct an empirical study on a sample of large European banks. The research aims to assess the qualitative and quantitative profiles of derivative disclosure in banking institutions. The paper provides evidences that banks differ in their derivative reporting, even though they are subject to similar regulatory requirements and accounting standards. The paper also shows that there is room to improve various aspects of derivatives disclosure in banking.
