Rescue costs and financial risk

Estrada, Fernando (2014): Rescue costs and financial risk.

Abstract

Following Taleb/Tapiero (2009) , the hypotheses are contrasted based on partial information of firms had losses (including external risk factors); the policy implications of this analysis are projected after evaluating two fundamental issues that continue to preoccupy the public opinion: how failures occur in markets in the case of large firms, corporations or companies, and what are the criteria for regulation and rescue available to governments, institutions and citizens to control them.
