This paper proposes two metrics to correctly measure under optimal capital structures the impact of corporate statutory tax rates (a) on the effective tax rate, and (b) on the operational risk of capital investment projects and their parent firm's project portfolio. For illustrative and...

This paper proposes a new framework to reduce the variance and uncertainty in the risk assessment process. Today, this process is susceptible to background noise from sources of human factor biases and erroneous measurements. Our new framework consists of deconstructing the likelihood of failure...

This paper identifies a new and previously unidentified trend that is changing corporate governance: board liability for misconduct based on operational risk. Operational risk is serious business.

Bank CEOs are held personally accountable for firms' performance, including the downside risk. Operational risk is largely idiosyncratic and operational risk event announcements signal flaws in banks' internal control systems and ineffective risk management. We examine the impact of operational...

Bank CEOs are held personally accountable for firms' performance, including the downside risk. Operational risk is idiosyncratic and operational risk event announcements signal ineffective risk management. We examine the impact of operational risk announcements on different components of U.S....

Operational risk is a substantial source of risk for US banks. Improving the performance of operational risk models allows banks’ management to make more informed risk decisions by better matching economic capital and risk appetite, and allows regulators to enhance their understanding of...

Banks give great attention to identifying the risks of adopting FinTech and the extent of its negative impact on their business. This study aims to explore the relationship between the risks of adopting FinTech in banks and their impact on performance, where the balanced scorecard was used to...

The opposition in a number of countries to the inclusion of nuclear energy in a sustainable energy portfolio, in part due to the dread of what the “nuclear” word inspires, has limited quantitative scientific foundation of the real benefits and risks. This has been amplified by the lack of a...

Various textbooks in management accounting associate the concept of degree of operating leverage (DOL) to the ratio of fixed costs and variable costs—an index referred to as the cost structure of a firm. This view of operating leverage implies that, if two firms have different sales volumes...

In contrast to the capital structure propositions in Modigliani and Miller (1958, 1963), most empirical research has not been able to find a positive association between stock returns and financial leverage. Several reasons have been proposed for this, including suggestions about omitted risk...

Recent theories propose that intermediate inputs can induce an operating hedging that decrease expected return. Empirically, using the input-output tables of the BEA I find that industries whose fraction of total intermediate inputs purchased to total value added is higher, and lower expected...

We examine the effect of a firm’s political risk on its customer concentration. Using firm-level political risk measures, we find that suppliers' political risk leads to lower customer concentration. Firms with higher default risk, higher volatility, less differentiated products as well as...
