This inability is due not only to the indeterminacy inherent in the term 'systemic risk' but also to existing institutional structures which, because of their existing legal mandates, ultimately make it difficult to monitor and regulate systemic risk across an entire economic system. Bringing together leading figures in the field of financial regulation, t...

Der Autor geht der Frage nach, welche Kriterien die Agenturen zur Ableitung ihrer Ratings heranziehen und welche Einblicke sie in den Urteilsgewinnungsprozess gewähren. Zum einen führt er dazu e...
