Transaction exposure is the level of uncertainty businesses involved in international trade face. Specifically, it is the risk that currencyexchange rateswill fluctuate after a firm has already undertaken a financial obligation. A high level of vulnerability to shifting exchange rates can lead to major...
This is a common product of hazard (physical and statistical aspects of a flood), exposure (who and what is at risk of a flood), and vulnerability (the susceptibility of spatial infrastructure to a threat and its ability to counteract and eliminate the consequences of a natural disaster) (...
Lehman Brothers filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy due to the failure of Wall Street and the US Treasury to find a solution, resulting in abandonment. This bankruptcy holds the record as the largest in US corporate history, with $639 billion worth of assets and $613 billion worth of debts. It...
This study analyzes how a sample of the Swiss public perceives various forms of risk mitigation that address the severity of the induced seismicity hazard at the source (traffic light system), exposure (relocation of the project to a remote area), vulnerability (structural retrofitting), and comp...
Vulnerability to the impacts of extreme geophysical events increases when the range of alternatives is limited or misinformed. Many evacuees from a potentially violent volcanic eruption in Ecuador returned to their home town of Banos while it was still under an evacuation order in 2000 and ...
Both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties associated with different sourcesand components of risk (hazard, exposure, vulnerability) are present at eachstep of seismic risk assessments. All individual sources of uncertaintycontribute to the total uncertainty, which might be very high and, withinthe ...
We construct a new provincial level panel dataset, and use panel estimation methods to assess the influence of socioeconomic (vulnerability), geographic, demographic, topographic (exposure), and meteorological (hazard) characteristics on the resulting fatalities and affected persons from recent tropical ...
chemometric modelling. Latent factors controlling the hydrogeochemistry of groundwater too are explored. While hazard quotients (HQ) of the chemical parameters (HQNO3−andHQF−) identify ingestion as the prominent pathway, the calculated risk certainty levels (RCL) of the hazard index (HI) values...
