Ebook Effects on Risk Taking Resulting from Limiting the Value at Risk or the Lower Partial Moment One

Submitted by wulan on Tue, 05/18/2010 - 06:28

The Capital Adequacy Directive (CAD) issued by the European Union (EU) and the ,,Bale Capital Accord to Cover Market Risk" (Basle Accord) issued by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) limit banks' risk taking via a bound on the risk/equity ratio. Risk may either be calculated by in house models (value at-risk concepts) or by certain standard methods.

Normatively (if one accepts the axioms put forward by von Neumann/Morgenstem), banks make investment decisions such as to maximize expected utility. This implies a certain notion of risk. If the notion of risk underlying the regulation differs from that used by a bank in its investment decisions, adverse effects on a bank's risk taking may result from regulation, i.e. the regulatory limit might in some cases cause banks to take a riskier position than they would without any limit.
