Moreover, we examine the different effects of network structure on extreme upward and downward movements in price and find that the centrality of a firm more strongly inhibits extreme price upward movements than it does downward movements. Our results suggest that a firm’s position in the cross-shareholding network can influence its extreme price movements, which gives us new insights into extreme stock market movements and provides useful suggestions for future financial regulations.<br>","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89285852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lack of structured data and the systemic implications of multifaceted impacts of overlapping risk frameworks are additional factors that make this risk difficult to quantify. As a starting point for overcoming this challenge, our paper considers a potential definition of this risk type, encompassing confidentiality, integrity and availability; the key components of a cyber-risk framework; a taxonomy to help establish a common framework for data collection to aid quantification; and the key quantification challenges. It then focuses on quantifying the direct financial and compensatory losses emanating from cyber risks. To help us carry this out, dimensional analysis is incorporated in the same manner as it has been applied to operational losses; this enables the identification of any similarities and/ or gross deviations between the profiles of cyber and non-cyber operational losses. In all, considering the limited amount of cyber data available, this analysis shows that: \u0000 \u0000(1) a taxonomy for cyber risk that maps directly to operational risk might be a worthwhile exercise; \u0000 \u0000(2) cyber loss data has a fundamental risk profile similar to that of non-cyber operational risk losses, with both following the same trend; and \u0000 \u0000(3) the underlying risk profile related to cyber losses has not changed materially over time. \u0000 \u0000These findings come with the added implications that: \u0000 \u0000(1) mapping the taxonomies of cyber and operational risk against each other could be conducted more objectively; \u0000 \u0000(2) operational risk modeling techniques that have been developed over the past decade or so could be used in the same way to assess the direct financial impact of cyber risk as a starting point; and \u0000 \u0000(3) although there has been an increase in both the frequency and the severity of cyber losses over the past few years, there has not been a major paradigm shift in their fundamental risk profile over the same period of time.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84848057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This event type spans many departments, roles, processes and systems and causes significant financial and reputational damage to banks. As a result, fraud presents banks with a real challenge in terms of knowing where to start. One of the main aims of this paper is to use stochastic probability models to predict aggregate fraud severity and fraud frequency within the Nigerian banking sector using historical data. Another objective is to describe how banks can develop and deploy business intelligence (BI) outlier-based detection models to recognize internal fraudulent activities. As the volume of transaction data grows and the industry focuses more closely on fraud detection, BI has evolved to provide proactive, real-time insights into fraudulent behaviors and activities. We discuss the fraud analytic development process, since it is a central issue in real application domains.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86801501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it has not been recognized that the dependencies between high-frequency, low-impact (HFLI) and low-frequency, high-impact (LFHI) operational risk losses are naturally different. This paper proposes an approach, called the loss distribution approach with segmented dependence (LDA-SD), which can model the different dependencies of HFLI and LFHI losses in the framework of LDA. LDA-SD divides the losses into two parts for HFLI and LFHI, fits their frequency and severity distributions separately and models the segmented dependencies with a copula. In our empirical study, the proposed LDA-SD is applied to measure the operational risk of the overall Chinese banking sector based on the Chinese Operational Loss Database data set, the largest operational risk data set in China. The empirical results reveal that the dependencies are indeed different between HFLI and LFHI losses. The operational risk capital calculated by the LDA-SD is significantly smaller than that calculated by the LDA and considering the holistic dependence, but larger than that simply considering tail dependence.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79052238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approaches to dealing with non-financial risk range from risk governance to the methodology of modeling risk. The behavior of decision makers has been identified as a new type of risk: behavioral risk. However, less attention is paid to behavioral risk management in the first line of defence. This paper discusses key features of fighting behavioral risk in the business line of operations as the central hub for all transactions in a bank.

This is the first paper to consider factor-based modeling for this operational/conduct risk scenario. The approach employed makes use of frequency/severity techniques under the established loss distribution approach (LDA). Rather than calibrate the constituent distributions through the typical means of loss data or expert opinion, this paper develops a structural approach in which these are determined using bespoke models built on the underlying risk drivers and dynamics. For retail mis-selling, the frequency distribution is constructed using a Bayesian network, while the severity distribution is constructed using system dynamics. This has not been used to date in driver-based models for operational risk. In using system dynamics, with elements of queuing theory and multi-objective optimization, this paper advocates a versatile attitude with regard to modeling by ensuring the model is appropriately representative of the scenario in question. The constructed model is thereafter applied to a specific and currently relevant scenario involving packaged bank accounts, and illustrative capital estimates are determined. This paper finds that using structural models could provide a more risk-sensitive alternative to using loss data or expert opinion in scenario-level risk quantification. Further, these models could be exploited for a variety of risk management uses, such as the assessment of control efficacy and operational and resource planning.","PeriodicalId":54030,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational Risk","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2017-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79023367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
