Presentations

Central Banking with Shadow Banks

Adrien d'Avernas, Assistant Professor at Stockholm School of Economics and resident researcher at Swedish House of Finance

Following the global financial crisis, governments all over the world imposed stricter bank regulations, central banks reclaimed prominence in government and short-term debt markets, and an increasing portion of the economy has been financed by institutions outside of the traditional banking sector. In this presentation, I will explain how these developments are tied together and whether we should expect central banks to continue to be heavily involved in financial markets.

Integrating ERM: The interplay between digital technologies, organisational structures, and human cognition

Jason Crawford, Assistant Professor at Uppsala University

Organisations face unprecedented risks and uncertainties that are more complex, interconnected, and multifaceted than ever before. To address these challenges and respond to regulatory and stakeholder pressure for better risk governance, management, and reporting practices, many organisations are integrating enterprise risk management (ERM) with control and reporting. This sets the empirical context for much of my research. While such developments are most visible in the financial industry, they are also increasingly apparent in organisations operating in other industries to enable resilience capabilities and respond to new ESG reporting requirements. My research examines these developments using integration as a lens in multiple contexts, including banks and insurance companies. My latest work is increasingly focused on the integration of ESG into ERM, including the interplay between AI and human cognition in strategic and operational decision-making.
