Projekty logistyki miasta – metoda szacunkowa oceny ryzyka
2017
W artykule przedstawiono zagadnienia projektów w obszarze logistyki miasta, które realizowane są nie tylko w warunkach niepewności, ale także ograniczeń budżetowych. Wskazano, że dążenie do równoważenia nakładów i efektów stwarza konieczność oceny zasadności projektu oraz ryzyka związanego z realizacją przyjętych celów w zakresie czasu, kosztu, zakresu i jakości inwestycji. Jednak brak obowiązku ustawowego oceny ryzyka skłania do poszukiwania takich metod, które nie będą generowały dodatkowych kosztów i dostarczą szybkich wyników, dlatego w artykule zaprezentowano metodę szacunkową oceny ryzyka projektów, bazującą na subiektywnych ocenach ekspertów. Wskazano jej główne zalety i pokazano pro…
Contingent Convertible Bonds for Sovereign Debt Risk Management
2018
Abstract We consider convertible bonds that contractually stipulate payment standstill, contingent on a market indicator of a sovereign’s credit worthiness breaching a distress threshold. This financial innovation limits ex ante the likelihood of debt crises and imposes ex post risk sharing between creditors and the debtor. Drawing from literature on contingent contracts, neglected risks, and bank CoCo, we extend prevailing arguments in favor of sovereign CoCo (S-CoCo). We discuss issues relating to their design: which market trigger, market discipline and sovereign incentives, and errors of false alarms or missed crises, and provide supporting evidence with eurozone data and a simple simul…
