Bank Risk, Governance and Regulation

Bank Risk, Governance and Regulation offers studies pertaining to three interconnected, relevant areas of research in banking: the analysis of banking risks and their determinants, both at micro- and macro-level of investigation; the exploration of the existing relations among bank risk management, governance and performance; and the regulation of systemic risks posed by banks and the effects of novel regulatory sets on bank conduct and profitability. The research findings contained in this volume relate predominantly to European banking systems, but there are also stimulating contrasts with the US banking system. These chapters were originally presented as papers at the annual conference of the European Association of University Teachers of Banking and Finance (Wolpertinger 2014), which was held 3–6 September 2014 at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, Italy.
