	UNRAVELLING FINANCIAL RISK
		The existing knowledge of risk in finance and economics is then presented and discussed, and it is shown that one of the basic claims has been the need to calculate financial risk on an objective basis.
		Risk neutral individuals are indifferent towards risk, and risk seekers are those who love to take on risk, even if the returns may not be commensurately high.
		Thus acceptable financial risks have to be taken with scepticism because they are likely to be determined by scientists who profit from determining their acceptability, rather than scientists who are responsible for any adverse consequences.

	Managing Financial Risk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Risk can be defined as the probability of a set of events taking place where characteristics of the underlying probability distribution are unknown.
		Relative risk can be defined in terms of the coefficient of variation, which is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of a distribution.
		A risk averse agent may be willing to accept either C or D over A or B as long as the outcome associated with the probability distribution is positive, e.g., winning the lottery, maximizing economic gain, or some positive incentive event.

	Sample Chapter for Shiller, R.: The New Financial Order: Risk in the 21st Century.
		Risk sharing has been used primarily for certain narrow kinds of insurable risks, such as stock market crashes or hurricanes, or for managing the risks of conventional investments, such as diversifying investment portfolios or hedging commodity risks, benefits that often accrue mainly to the already-well-off members of our society.
		Financial institutions can be strengthened to short-circuit fiascoes like that at Enron Corporation, where moral hazard escaped the controls, where top management, using some clever financial innovation as a foil, dishonestly ran off with the money at the expense of their employees.
		Some of the ideas for a new financial order that follow have framing at their very core, and our understanding of the power of psychological framing is an important part of the reason to expect that real progress in risk management can be achieved in the future.

	Public Information Notice: IMF Executive Board Discusses Financial Risk in the Fund and the Level of Precautionary ...
		In considering the paper "Financial Risk in the Fund and the Level of Precautionary Balances," the Executive Board examined the decision taken in 2002 in the broader context of the Fund's role in promoting global stability, its financial structure and its risk containment policies and the characteristics of the Fund's exposure.
		They agreed that mitigating financial risk at the Fund rests heavily on rigorous implementation of the policies governing the use of Fund resources and careful management of the Fund's liquidity, along with an adequate level and pace of accumulation of precautionary balances.
		Recognizing that credit risk to the Fund stems mainly from large arrangements with middle-income countries, Directors stressed that sound risk management requires the Fund to be prepared for the possibility of payments disruptions, which could arise from the increase and concentration of its outstanding credit.
