| | Risk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Risk is the potential impact (positive or negative) to an asset or some characteristic of value that may arise from some present process or from some future event. | | | Thus in statistical decision theory, the risk function of an estimator δ(x) for a parameterθ, calculated from some observables x; is defined as the expectation value of the loss function L, | | | In financial markets one may need to measure credit risk, information timing and source risk, probability model risk, and legal risk if there are regulatory or civil actions taken as a result of some "investor's regret". |

| | If there is no risk that the country won't pay off the bill, then the value of the bill today depends on current interest rates. | | | Risk is important to insurance, the evaluation of securities, and really any economic decision involving the future. | | | Since risk is defined as a situation is which the probabilities of possible outcomes are known, let's spend a moment reviewing the concept of probability. |

| | Despite almost universal agreement that a system offers clear advantages over hunches, very few risk managers actually have a definition of their own risk management systems that is clear enough to allow a computer to back-test it. | | | Note that since risk per share may not be proportional to price per share (compare stocks B and C), the two methods may not indicate the same number of shares. | | | Where this is possible, however, it provides three substantial benefits (1) a framework within which to determine optimal bet-sizing strategies, (2) a high level of confidence that the systems are logical, stable and efficacious, and (3) an exhibit to support discussions to bring the risk/reward expectations of the fund managers and the investors into alignment. |

| | It may be difficult or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price, or to assess the exposure to risk. | | | In light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships) into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk. | | | The seller will also be exposed to the risk of the purchaser exercising the option and the seller will be obligated to either settle the option in cash or to acquire or deliver the underlying interest. |

| | Insurance is the baseline against which people are prepared to take risks, it is the basis of security where fate has been ousted by an active engagement with the future. | | | For these reasons, the idea of risk has always been involved in modernity, but I want to argue that in the current period risk assumes a new and peculiar importance. | | | Risk is the mobilising dynamic of a society bent on change, that wants to determine its own future rather than leaving it to religion, tradition, or the vagaries of nature. |

| | Public debates about risk and other threatening concepts may be accompanied by a lot of numbers and graphs and budgets, but in the final analysis, decisions are often based on political and emotional grounds, if not on confusing logic. | | | The risks of vaccinating are limited but fairly certain; the cost of an attack could be immense, but its likelihood is completely uncertain. | | | In the case of risk, the numbers alone do not say what is acceptable or unacceptable in the public policy sector. |
