Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Enterprise risk management and default risk : evidence from the banking industry

Notas: Sumario: Enterprise risk management (ERM) has emerged as a framework for more holistic and integrated risk management with an emphasis on enhanced governance of the risk management system. ERM should theoretically reduce the volatility of cash flows, agency risk, and information riskultimately reducing a firm's default risk. We empirically investigate the relationship between the degree of ERM implementation and default risk in a panel data set covering 78 of the world's largest banks. We create a novel measure of the degree of ERM implementation. We find that a higher degree of ERM implementation is negatively related to the credit default swap (CDS) spread of a bank. When a rich set of control variables and fixed effects are included, a one-standard-deviation increase in the degree of ERM implementation decreases CDS spreads by 21 bas is points. The degree of ERM implementation is, however, not a significant determinant of credit ratings when controls for corporate governance are includedRegistros relacionados: En: The Journal of risk and insurance. - Nueva York : The American Risk and Insurance Association, 1964- = ISSN 0022-4367. - 01/03/2018 Volumen 85 Número 1 - marzo 2018 , p. 127-157Materia / lugar / evento: Enterprise Risk Management Gerencia de riesgos Sistemas bancarios Calificaciones crediticias Prevención de riesgos ERM Otros autores: Vilhelmsson, Anders
