Different approaches to model feedbacks in financial systems are assessed based on requirements for the conceptualization of feedback dynamics. Given the diversity and non‐linearity of systemic financial feedbacks (SFFs), modelling concepts have to be evaluated in the context of system adaption, specifically systemic interconnectivity and behaviour. Methodological approaches from System Dynamics (SD) theory are considered to provide appropriate and attractive features. Surprisingly, few SD models exist to explain SFFs. The scarcity of SD modelling for SFFs may be attributed to the lack of empirically supported economic foundations and methodological challenges for theoretical modelling. This paper considers a conceptual framework for modelling SFFs. The framework emerges from the synthesis of modelling requirements for SFFs, limitations of existing modelling approaches, and innovations from SD. In doing so, this study provides evidence for the contribution of SD concepts to complement existing SFF models and offers suggestions for further modelling towards a 'dual approach'.

This book sheds light on the topic of financial water risk by examining the modeling challenges associated with physical, regulatory, and reputational water risk in finance. It explores various approaches to operationalize water risk from a financial analysis, investment management, and climate science perspective. The analysis of tools to assess water risk provides the basis for the development of appropriate risk-return management techniques in finance and beyond. This book provides new insights by focusing on financial water threats and their related opportunities. It will be of interest to both academics and practitioners who work at the interface of finance, economics, nature, and society.

Kreditinstitute stehen als Folge der Finanzmarkt- und Staatsschuldenkrise deutlich stärker im Fokus der Bestrebungen einer besseren Gestaltung von Regelungen für die Unternehmensführung und -überwachung (Corporate Governance). Für den Ausbruch und speziell die Ausbreitung der Finanzmarktkrise wird unzureichende Corporate Governance von Banken sogar als ursächlich angesehen. Dieses Werk untersucht die Anforderungen und Auswirkungen wesentlicher aktueller Regulierungen, etwa das CRD IV/CRR-Paket, die Vierte MaRisk-Novelle oder die Entwicklungen zur einheitlichen europäischen Bankenaufsicht und -abwicklung. Es gliedert sich in vier Kapitel: - Corporate Governance − Status und aktuelle Entwicklungen - Restrukturierung und Instrumente der Kapital-, Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsplanung - Anforderungen an die Arbeit von Aufsichtsrat und Vorstand - Neuerungen in den Feldern Risikomanagement und Compliance Durch seine Synthese von theoretischer Fundierung und zielgerichteter Adressierung aktueller bankpraktischer Probleme richtet sich dieses Werk an Führungskräfte in Banken, Aufsichtsräte, Rechtsanwälte, Wirtschaftsprüfer und Berater sowie an Lehrende und Studierende an Universitäten, Fachhochschulen und Akademien.
