Accounting Methods and Systemic Risk: An Investigation of Policy Issues and Lessons
Project Leader: Michael D. Greenberg
This project involves an investigation of policy issues surrounding fair value accounting practice and systemic risk. Through a combination of literature review, case study methods, and individual and small group discussions with stakeholders, we will explore the relationship between accounting methods, firm-level risk management practices, competing business models in the financial services sector, and transparency in underlying asset valuation to investors.
