Barriers to micro-insurance outreach for pastoralists and crop farmers in rural areas in Kenya

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of Frankfurt (Main) (House of Finance-Endowed Chair of Personal Finance), language: English, abstract: What are the motivating factors for retail investors who seek excessive risk on the stock market and how do they relate to those of gambling? Who are these gamblers on the stock market in terms of socio-economic status and personalities? Are they different to those participating in other gambling markets? Which potential similarities exist between these groups? Do people participate in gambling because they prefer risky investments (sensation seeking) or are they misjudging the odds of winning (misled belief)?To answer these questions the following paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides the theoretical foundation for the analysis by defining gambling in a traditional sense and providing a framework for identifying gambling on the stock market. Section 3 analyses the motives for traditional gamblers and those on the stock market and links them to certain personality traits as well as socio-economic status. Section 4 briefly sums up the most important findings, compares differences and similarities between the two distinct groups and concludes.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 4.5, , course: Business Economics, language: English, abstract: The paper evaluated the effectiveness of risk monitoring through the project life cycle of a construction project of a shopping center in Port Harcourt.In line with this need, this paper established a system to improve the time, cost and quality performance of building construction projects in developing countries through a comprehensive risk management model that ensures that the expectations of clients are met. To achieve the aim of this paper, a mixed methodological approach was adopted.Through the review of literature, a conceptual risk management framework suitable to elaborate risk assessment of building construction projects especially for developing countries was developed. The result showed the interrelation between the risk factors and how they contributed to cost and time overruns as well as quality problems.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the crises of the twenty-first century&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In an increasingly globalized world, a complex and interlocking web of nations, governments, non-state actors, laws, and rules affect human behavior. When crisis hits—whether that be extrajudicial detention, unprompted deportation, pandemics, or natural disasters—lawyers are increasingly among the first responders, equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate the regulations of this ever more complex world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Crisis Lawyering &lt;/i&gt;explores this phenomenon and attempts to identify and define what it means to engage in the practice of law in crisis situations. In so doing, it hopes to sketch out the contours of the emerging field of crisis lawyering. Contributors to this volume explore cases surrounding domestic violence; dealing with immigrants in detention and banned from travel; policing in Ferguson, Missouri; the kidnapping of journalists; and climate change, among other crises. Their analysis not only serves as guidance to lawyers in such situations, but also helps others who deal with crises understand those crises—and the role of lawyers in them—better so that they may respond to them more effectively, efficiently, collaboratively and creatively. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Crisis Lawyering &lt;/i&gt;shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the complex crises of the twenty-first century.&lt;/p&gt;

Crisis Lawyering

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,7, Hochschule für Technik, Wirtschaft und Kultur Leipzig, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Unternehmen sowie Banken und Finanzdienstleistungsinstitute sind unterschiedlichen finanziellen Risiken ausgesetzt. Diese Risiken können den Erfolg von gewinnorientierten Organisationen erheblich beeinflussen. Deshalb besteht eine Notwendigkeit für Unternehmen und andere Institutionen, sich mit der Risiko-Thematik auseinanderzusetzen und Lösungen zu schaffen. Für den Umgang mit dieser Problematik wurde das Risikomanagement geschaffen. Insbesondere in der heutigen Zeit kommt es im Zuge der Globalisierung und des exponentiellen Technologiewachstums zu einer erhöhten Anzahl an Unternehmensinsolvenzen. Im Zusammenhang mit der ansteigenden Insolvenzgefahr gewinnt das Risikomanagement zunehmend an Bedeutung und wird mit einer Vielzahl neuer Verordnungen und Richtlinien reguliert. Im Risikomanagementprozess nimmt die Bemessung von finanziellen Risiken eine zentrale Rolle ein. Der Value at Risk-Ansatz (VaR) wurde in den 90er Jahren in der Finanzdienstleistungsbranche entwickelt, um das gesamte Risiko eines Portfolios in Form einer einzelnen Kennzahl darzustellen. Der VaR ermöglicht die Ermittlung des Verlustbetrages durch Marktbewegungen. Heutzutage wird das Konzept darüber hinaus auch in Unternehmen verwendet und gilt als anerkannter und als der am häufigsten zitierte Ansatz zur Quantifizierung von finanziellen Risiken. Eine nähere Betrachtung des Finanzrisikomanagements innerhalb von Unternehmen lohnt sich wegen der hohen und wachsenden Bedeutung dieser Funktion. Zudem stellt das Konzept des VaR eine Kennzahl dar, die in betriebswirtschaftlichen Fragestellungen häufig verwendet wird. Deshalb ist eine wissenschaftliche Ausarbeitung dieses Konzeptes sehr sinnvoll. Zu Beginn dieser Arbeit wird eine Basis für das gemeinsame Verständnis von Unternehmensrisiken geschaffen. Dazu wird zunächst der Risiko-Begriff genau definiert und in Folge dazu werden die unterschiedlichen Risiko-Arten, denen Unternehmen ausgesetzt sind, voneinander abgegrenzt.

Risikomessung mittels Value at Risk

Risk avoidance currently seems to be the patent remedy for all our problems. Central banks are attempting to defend our banking and economic systems from current threats by throwing vast amounts of money in their way, while politicians demonstrate benevolence in attempts to counter todays social ills – to ›sweep them under the carpet‹ as one might say. A general desire to ›keep going as normal‹ certainly appears prevalent. Without risk, however, there can be no progress, no learning, no insight.Markus Krall, bestselling author and one of the most insightful connoisseurs of the risk landscape, shows how currently unfolding distortions in business and politics, rapid technological development and geostrategic mistakes could lead us to catastrophe. He also shows where and how we can intervene to put our society on a new and better footing.

The Entrepreneurial Adventure

Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, , course: Business Adminstration, language: English, abstract: The main objective of the thesis is to assess the effect of credit risk management on the quality of loans portfolio in the case of Development Bank of Ethiopia. A sample of 84 respondents was drawn from the employees of the Development Bank of Ethiopia by using purposive sampling technique. Both primary and secondary data were used. Data related to loan portfolio and loan position is obtained from the bank whereas, primary data are collected using structured questioners from the employees of the bank.Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to conduct the research and Multiple Regression Analysis was run using SPSS Version 21.0 to analyze the data. With regard to credit risk management practices, the result show that DBE has not satisfactory risk Management practice. Precisely, using score 1 (poor) to 5 (best), all the parameters of risk management practice assessment have a score value below 3.40, i.e. Credit Risk Granting and Portfolio Quality Control (3.40), Credit Risk System and Standard (3.20), Credit Risk and Portfolio Quality Control (3.17), Risk Identification, Measurement and Control (3.03), and Risk Environment (2.98). The Bank`s loan portfolio is also more vulnerable to various types of risks, such as to unpredictable risk, predictable, and controllable risks. The bank’s NPL ratio was above 15% for the last five years.The regression result also showed that sound credit granting process and the existence of comprehensive risk management system and standards are the significant variables that affect loan portfolio quality of the Bank. Credit risk management practice of the bank has insignificant effect on loan portfolio quality. Both in terms of Non-performing loan and concentration, DBE has poor loan portfolio quality which is due to the bank’s poor credit risk management practice. Therefore, there is a need to improve and enhance credit risk management practice of the Bank, especially, by improving the credit granting process to  have sound credit risk management, and by updating credit risk management system and standards so as to have strong credit management.

During 2020 the stock market was a "kangaroo market", with vertiginous and totally unexpected ups and downs. In a high volatility and liquidity context, there was an unprecedented increase in the number of retail investors, who started trading small amounts of money through zero-commission apps. Is this a new financial bubble about to burst? What role do apps like Robinhood, influencers like David Portnoy, and government stimulus checks have in this whole story? The answer is complex, but it is undeniable that something has definitely changed, and that something is access.

We must look beyond the now, the current economy on our doorstep, and … reach out to a humanity that lies dormant in all of us.While the depth and sophistication of South Africa's financial and capital markets are lauded by indices the world over, South Africa is also considered to be the most unequal society in the world. The Economy On Your Doorstep probes the reasons for this tragic paradox of South African life and tries to go through and beyond the graphs, margin calls, trading updates, indices and earnings reports to explain how economic 'actions' frame the lives of South Africans in a transitional society faced with the challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality.The economy is and always has been primarily about people. How they live, what they produce, under what conditions and what social, political and environmental factors influence decisions of consumption, investment and distribution, and how they act under conditions of uncertainty, scarcity, need and crisis. After all, economies are about people coming together to produce, exchange, distribute and consume goods and services that emerge from their communities and those of others. How and under what conditions can we ensure the expansion of our productive forces, while expanding access to the base of assets, services and support that allow for the social reproduction of our entire society and workforce?Ayabonga Cawe outlines some key areas that can and should define a policy agenda towards a 'people's economy' in South Africa and the long-term objectives of such a policy programme, and engages with the political economy of 21st century South Africa through an analysis of a few selected areas of the economy and the implications of this for policy action.This is what this book is about, an exposition of what we see around us and an explanation and discussion of possible ways beyond it.In this well-researched book, Ayabonga Cawe, a development economist, columnist and broadcaster, makes sense of the post-apartheid political economy through the lives of the many people who live and survive in it every day.
