Description: This paper discusses a test of whether ERM influences insurers’ stock market performance. Results show that stock market performance is linked to the characteristic of industry events and specific firm characteristics rather than to the success of ERM.

Description: 2011 SOA Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Chicago. This paper reviews a risk management theory that deals with correlated, non-normally distributed factors, and then applies risk management techniques to the U.S. steel industry using futures contract hedging.

Description: 2011 SOA Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Chicago. This paper suggests the use of a policy event-based loss estimation method using expert input and simulation for forecasting long duration expenditures: that is to say, there is an efficient time, which is random and observable to replace a physical asset.

Description: This paper identifies some of the special ERM considerations that a corporation which has employees who are members of a multi-employer pension plan, MEPP, should include in its ERM program. The focus of the paper is on the MEPP as an entity and tools to be used in its ERM. From 2006 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS06-1.

Description: 2011 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Chicago. This paper uses a case-study research design looking at two companies: Infosys and Rolls-Royce Corp. The goal of the research is to develop an explanation of how ERM brings about the strategic implications or its “promise” as it is popularly known in the ERM circle. The influential factors and how they are linked to the ERM process of achieving strategic implications are highlighted.

Description: 2011 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Chicago. This study investigates whether simulation-based models can be used to predict liquidity risk for banks, which must comply with Basel III by January 2015. The paper looks at the process of developing a measurement framework using Black-Scholes and Merton’s asset-based models to measure liquidity risk.

Description: This paper builds a model that quantifies the natural hedging benefits of a portfolio of both variable annuities and equity indexed annuities. The model is based on risk-neutral option pricing theory and risk-adjusted performance measure, RAPM. Through a double-tier simulation framework, an optimum product mixture of those two contracts is achieved that provides the best RAPM and therefore deploys capital the most efficiently. From 2006 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS06-1.

Description: This paper uses Interpretive Structural Modeling concepts and techniques to better understand a company's overall risk profile. By viewing all of the risks in a firm as an integrated system, one can apply a computer-assisted learning process to construct a structural graph and illustrate the risk interrelationships. From 2006 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS06-1.

Description: This paper describes the process one goes through as a project manager in implementing an ERM dashboard. The purpose of the dashboard is to provide the management of the organization with a top-of-the-house view of all risk types in an integrated manner.

Description: The purpose of this paper is to outline a framework that measures 'decision' and to argue that such a measure is the rightful focus of the enterprise. The paper develops the principle of maximizing expected utility as a normative decision theory from its philosophical roots in order to motivate its proper usage i.e., to the enterprise's ultimate good. From 2006 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS06-1.
