Description: This abstract explores three central questions as follows: 1) What is the current state of the ERM paradigm, including its boundaries and limitations, especially with regard to extreme events and emerging risk; 2) Is it possible to have a unified ERM "theory of everything", capable of explaining both smaller, localized events as well as trans-boundary risk and emerging risk; 3) Might it be the case that one set of laws applies to localized risk while another (separate and different) set of laws applies to macro-level risks such as extreme events and trans-boundary risk. This exploration is intended to foster dialogue and progression toward a more robust ERM construct.
