Decision Support System In Oil Spill Management: Oil Spills can have severe and long-term biological, economic, political, cultural, and social impacts. While it is not possible to predict the impacts of an oil spill with any certainty, it is possible to evaluate the vulnerability of an area to a defined spill scenario based on the risk resources...; Tags: spill, decision support system, vulnerability; White papers 2006-07-12

Emerging Economic Models For Vulnerability Research: The purpose of this paper is to look at economic vulnerability models that exist in the market today and analyze how they affect vendors, end users and vulnerability researchers.

Although private firms uniquely understand their operations and the hazards they entail, it is...; Tags: University of Pennsylvania, vulnerability, terrorist attack, incentive, asset, knowledge, benefit; White papers 2005-10-01
Does Openness to Trade Make Countries More Vulnerable to Sudden Stops, Or Less? Using Gravity to Establish Causality: Openness to trade is one factor that has been identified as determining whether a country is prone to sudden stops in capital inflow, currency crashes, or severe recessions. Some believe that openness raises vulnerability to foreign shocks, while others believe that it makes adjustment to crises less painful. This paper...; Tags: National Bureau of Economic Research, vulnerability, adjustment; White papers 2004-12-01
The Contingent Claims Approach to Corporate Vulnerability Analysis: Estimating Default Risk and Economy-Wide Risk Transfer: This paper examines the ability of the Contingent Claims Approach CCA to identify corporate sector and economy-wide vulnerabilities. It applies the Moody's MfRisk model, which uses aggregated CCA principles, to assess vulnerabilities retroactively in two historical country cases. The results indicate that the method may prove helpful in identifying corporate...; Tags: IMF, vulnerability, public sector, analysis, financial; White papers 2004-07-01
Debt-Related Vulnerabilities and Financial Crises - An Application of the Balance Sheet Approach to Emerging Market Countries: This paper responds to calls by the IMFC and the Executive Board to take forward the Fund's work on debt-related vulnerabilities and balance sheet risks.

Information sharing among federal, state and local government entities better prepares each level of government to assess CI vulnerabilities, repair those vulnerabilities, and respond to threats...; Tags: Vertical industries, SECURITY, Syracuse University, vulnerability, government, asset, benefit; White papers 2004-03-15
An Option-Based Approach to Bank Vulnerabilities in Emerging Markets: This article measures bank vulnerability in emerging markets using the distance-to-default, a risk-neutral indicator based on Merton's (1974) structural model of credit risk. The indicator is estimated using equity prices and balance-sheet data for 38 banks in 14 emerging market countries. Results show it can predict a bank's credit deterioration...; Tags: Financial services, IMF, emerging market, bank, equity, monitoring; White papers 2004-02-01
