Offering a comprehensive guide to financial shocks and crises, this
book explores their increasing occurrence in current market
economies, as well as their power to wrench the macroeconomy. It
discusses three critical questions: what causes financial shocks;
which channels may exacerbate their impact; and what policies could
help avoid them or limit their negative effect on the economy and
society at large. Drawing together contributions from top scholars
in the field, this Modern Guide addresses both the causes and
consequences of financial instability after the Global Financial
Crisis (GFC) at both micro and macro levels. Chapters conceptualise
financial crises, highlight their main channels of transmission,
and explore the role of public policies, looking at how to learn
from past financial crises to prevent future ones. The book further
examines why financial shocks will be a permanent trait in the
future, and the potential impacts of market economics continuing to
expand financialisation as they have done over recent decades. This
Modern Guide will be a timely resource for economics students and
scholars, particularly as it compares the impacts of the GFC and
Covid-19 and explores why these are so different. It will also be
an important read for policy makers seeking advice on how to manage
and avoid financial crises.
The debate on connections between economic activity and
socio-environmental impact has become increasingly relevant. As a
result, ethical finance is emerging from its niche. However, the
terms "ethical finance" and "sustainable finance" are often
confused and overlapping, and the risk of greenwashing is high.
Many authors suggest the need of a paradigm shift because the
present economic system is no longer able to maintain a safe
environment. Tim Jackson explicitly argues about the need of a
future of "prosperity without growth". From the experiences of
ethical finance, we can identify some interesting tools to achieve
that goal. This book explains how ethical finance works and which
innovations it has engendered in financial and economic systems;
clarifies the links between finance and ethics, going beyond
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing, and offers an
approach, which is vital for most financial sectors, from
microcredit to impact investing; investigates the goals,
constraints, and opportunities of environmental and social
considerations in finance and explores the more innovative
experiences in banking and investing. It helps readers understand
the phenomena in depth, distinguishing the strategic, managerial,
organizational, and risk practices of ethical finance. The authors
adopt a holistic but critical approach, both with respect to the
practices exercised by financial intermediaries, and with reference
to new regulatory aspects. The book identifies the key issues and
current challenges of ethical finance, both for financial operators
and regulators. Several concrete international cases offer
empirical comparisons of practices, and as such it will be an
invaluable reference for academics and researchers who wish to
deepen their knowledge of ethical finance.
This book discusses the transformation of the banking industry,
particularly after a number of recent shocks: 2008 financial
crisis, 2012 Euro-sovereign crisis, the pandemic COVID-19 crisis,
the technological revolution, and reputational problems in banking
due to climate risk and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance)
metrics. The book emphasizes two post-pandemic issues: the role of
financial education and inclusive finance, and responsible banking
and ESG priorities. Individual chapters analyse how the pandemic
shed new light on social and governance responsibilities: Major
issues include the importance and efficiency of financial
education, and the impact of ESG programs on firms’ value,
banks’ probability of default, bank business models and
reputation risk. The book also addresses investors’ behaviour and
the factors which may bias financial disclosure and reporting. By
addressing whether the post-2008 crisis bank restructuring has
effectively created a resilient and sustainable banking system –
mostly from the European market’s perspective – the book will
be of interest to researchers, academics, policy makers, and
professionals of banking and financial institutions.
