The purpose of this study is to study the effect of internal factors, external factors and both internal and external factors on the liquidity risk of Apollo Food Holdings Berhad. The study is done by investigating the annual reports from 2015 to 2019. This study used multiple linear regression model to analyze the data. The findings show that debt-to-income ratio is the most significant variable to the liquidity of the company. The company should have a good debt-to-income ratio by increasing company income and paying off high interest debts.","PeriodicalId":275268,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Systemic Risk (Topic)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128685968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on marginal expected shortfall (MES), the likelihoods of a financial firm to be undercapitalized when the financial system as a whole is undercapitalized. The paper empirically measures the MES of financial firms of NIFTY 50 for pre-COVID year 2019-20 and COVID year2020-21 and found that the undercapitalization of Indian financial firm has increased 3 fold during COVID-19 Pandemic ensuing systemic risk has been increased during COVID-19 year to pre-COVID year. The result is also supported by daily stock return correlations of financial firms which is a simple and robust indicator of systemic risk. It has been found that the correlations of financial firm stock returns among themselves and market index as well is increased during COVID-19 pandemic that led to rise in systemic risk. Higher correlations among financial firms are a prerequisite for systemic failure.","PeriodicalId":275268,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Systemic Risk (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129599675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimization of systemic risk is realized through the reallocation of assets in these two networks (interbank lending and common asset holdings), and China’s interbank lending and sector loans data from 2017 is used to verify this scenario. The results show that under bank shock and asset shock, systemic risk can be significantly reduced through the reallocation of assets in these two networks; the density of the optimized network is significantly higher than that of the original network; and the scale of interbank assets of large-scale banks decreases, while the scale of common asset holdings increases in the optimized network. In addition, the results suggest that systemic risk can be lowered by reducing the existence of a high concentration of bank or sector portfolios, and that a low Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) plays a role in risk-sharing when there is a less high HHI.","PeriodicalId":275268,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Systemic Risk (Topic)","volume":"646 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132048734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Funds maintain higher buffers when they hold more illiquid assets, have shorter-term commitments from investors and creditors, and when market volatility is greater. Funds with low abnormal buffers – buffers below the level predicted by fund attributes – subsequently outperform their peers. Stocks with greater ownership by managers with abnormally low buffers subsequently outperform other stocks, especially around earnings announcements. Our results highlight potential trade-offs between systemic risk-oriented policies requiring larger liquidity buffers and the impairment of regular price discovery in financial markets.","PeriodicalId":275268,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Systemic Risk (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130686452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the new emerging digital ecosystem based on blockchain technology has been praised for offering plenty of advantages such as decentralization, discretion or increased efficiency in terms of faster settlements among others, investors need to be aware of new types of risks such as hacking incidents. In the 2011-2018 period, about 1.7 million unit of Bitcoin have been stolen corresponding to losses accumulating more than $655 million highlighting the societal impact of this criminal activity. The novel aspect of our study is that it employs a recently proposed approach related to Extreme-Value-Theory to compute the quantity of the risk of cyberattacks. Our results show that employing naïve statistics in risk management dramatically underestimates this risk. We argue that our findings have important implications for policy makers as they call for an urgent need for cryptocurrency market regulations from governments and regulatory agencies to protect investors.","PeriodicalId":275268,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Systemic Risk (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129477356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kluender","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3690398","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3690398","url":null,"abstract":"We examine the impact of the COVID-19 economic crisis on business and consumer bankruptcies in the United States using real-time data on the universe of filings. Historically, bankruptcies have closely tracked the business cycle and contemporaneous unemployment rates. However, this relationship has reversed during the COVID-19 crisis thus far. While aggregate filing rates were very similar to 2019 levels prior to the severe onset of the pandemic, filings by consumers and small businesses dropped dramatically starting in mid-March, contrary to media reports and many experts' expectations. The total number of bankruptcy filings is down by 27 percent year-over-year between January and August. Consumer and business Chapter 7 filings rebounded moderately starting in mid-April and stabilized around 20 percent below 2019 levels, but Chapter 13 filings remained at 55-65 percent below 2019 levels through the end of August. In contrast to the 2007-9 recession, states with a larger increase in unemployment between April and July experienced greater drops in bankruptcies. Although they make up a small share of overall bankruptcies, Chapter 11 filings by large corporations have increased since 2019, and are up nearly 200 percent year-over-year from January through August. These patterns suggest that the financial experiences of consumers, small businesses, and large corporations have diverged during the COVID-19 crisis. Large businesses have continued to seek and receive relief from the bankruptcy system as they would during a normal recession, and relatively wealthy homeowners have on average benefited from the fiscal stimulus and housing moratoria mandated by the CARES Act and other policies. However, non-homeowners and small businesses may face financial, physical, and technological barriers to accessing the bankruptcy system, especially in the areas hardest-hit by unemployment.","PeriodicalId":275268,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Systemic Risk (Topic)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123667009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
