Governance and Risk in Emerging and Global Markets [Hardcover]

The book features eight studies related to governance and risk. It provides a critical evaluation of Basel II, and questions the significance of corruption in country risk analysis and investors' decision making. It offers a reliable model of early warning credit signals that helps managers to detect default risks, and provides a risk-based analysis of alternative production systems in Pakistan. It analyzes the effects of market liberalization on volatility spill-over across the globe, and examines past and future prospects for the Iraqi stock exchange. Finally, it proposes securitization as a means to finance costs of reconstruction in Iraq.List of Figures and Tables Preface Acknowledgements Notes on the Contributors Introduction; S.Motamen-Samadian Basel II: Principles of Avoiding Regulatory Failure; J.Tanega Developing an Understanding of Credit-Risk Processes in Selected UK Sectors; A.Puri & H.Thapar Risk Analysis and Sustainability of Alternative Crop Production Systems; M.Hussein & A.Saboor Country Risk and Governance: Strange Bedfellows?; M.H.Bouchet & B.Groslambert Market Deregulation, Volatility and Spillover Effects: Experiences from Emerging Stock Markets; D.Kluong Nguyen The Baghdad Stock Exchange: A Dismal First Decade - A Growth Path Ahead?; K.J.A.Shubber & T.A.Kadhim Risk Management and Securitization of Assets: The Case of Iraq; O.Sholarin IndexMICHELE H.
