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

This booklet is to elaborate the difference between a healthy economy, where people do business in efficient and ethical ways verses an economy where it wastes money, time and human resources in order to create larger and larger business and income for few billionaires meanwhile, majority of people live in poverty.

The Economy of Waste

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.

Claude Kramer

Economics and Finance (R0)

&lt;p&gt;This edited collection discusses the evolution of microfinance and social business from the late medieval period to the modern era. The book fills a gap in financial history by exploring lesser-known, informal forms of credit granted to the poorest people, which have often not been recorded in writing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The book highlights the particularly innovative forms of credit developed in Italy, but also includes global contributions on the presence of microfinance and social business across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. This book illuminates for different countries and periods forms of financial assistance available for those not deemed as creditworthy – whether through the institution of the Monti di Pietà, an Italian credit instrument of the late Middle Ages, loans granted by shopkeepers, pawnbroking, or mutual aid distributed by lottery or religious institutions. The geographical diversity of the chapters enables comparative analyses to be drawn between different forms of credit and financial systems as they developed over a long period. The research presented offers new perspectives for contemporary microfinance, as well as reconstructing the experience of those living in poverty in a range of social, economic and religious contexts. The book will be of interest to a broad readership, including those working in financial, economic and social history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1.0, , language: English, abstract: Until the end of December 2018, Bitcoin was declared to be dead 338 times. Besides strong representation in media and public discussion, the cryptocurrency went through the ripple effect resulting in a peak of 19,871 $/BTC on December 17, 2017, followed by a dramatic devaluation resulting in a price of 3,896 $/BTC on December 31, 2018. The cryptocurrency is related to high volatility, strong herd behavior and bounded rationality. But to what extent does the perception of risk in investment’s context differ from Bitcoin and other investments? In the following paper, the technical implications and a brief historical development are provided in the second chapter. In the third chapter, the mainstream literature on investment behavior, risk aversion and measuring instruments for risk aversion is reviewed. In order to approach the research question, an online-survey among students is conducted which is presented in the fourth chapter and evaluated in the fifth chapter. In the last chapter, both the research method and the results are critically reflected and an outlook on future developments is given.

To what Extent does the Perception of Risk from Investments and Bitcoin Investments Differ? Insights From a Choice Experiment

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Other, Harvard University, language: English, abstract: This paper envisions to find out what has been done to help reduce the level of poverty in Least Developed Countries (LCDs). Moreover, it aims to identify and examine the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the strategies implemented. Finally, it will be determined why it has been so difficult to graduate from the LDC category. The Least Developed Countries are a sub-group of the Developing Countries (formerly referred to as less developed countries) and are defined by the United Nations as countries with low levels of income and human capital, and high economic vulnerability. Most of them are characterized by limited economic growth and export diversification, and a lack of competitive industries and exploitable natural resources. They also confront severe structural impediments to development and are vulnerable to natural disasters, such as droughts, floods, and hurricanes.  World Bank has further sub-classified 23 of the 47 LDCs as "fragile", and argues that these fragile countries experienced below-average GDP growth, under 4 percent a year compared with almost 6 percent in LDCs as a whole between 2000 and 2014. This is problematic because a growth rate of 7 percent has been targeted by international institutions to drive development in these countries.

Poverty Reduction in the Least Developed Countries

Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: A, , course: Business and technology, language: English, abstract: Technological applications are playing a more influential role in management in the contemporary business environment. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other algorithmic applications are some of the most common influencers in business applications. They present numerous solutions to business management problems, including banking risk management. In the last decade, risk management has gained greater prominence in financial services. In the past, banks focused on the detection, measuring, and reporting of risks. However, they are now leveraging on machine learning for greater accuracy and efficacy in risk management. As such, this paper explored different ways that machine learning applies in banking risk management. To achieve the objective of this study, the researcher conducted a comprehensive literature review on the topic of machine learning in banking risk management. The researcher found considerable industry and academic research focusing on developments in the financial services industry, especially in relation to risk management. It reviewed the literature, analysing and evaluating various risk management machine-learning techniques. It identified risk management problem areas and explored various ways of addressing them. The review showed that machine learning learning in risk management in financial services sector was still under-researched. While there were many studies on credit risks, other risks such as liquidity risks, market risks, and operational risks saw minimal attention. Nevertheless, machine learning applications were found to have the potential to develop more effective risk management models. Machine learning is leveraged on different data types to predict potential events with greater accuracy and estimate losses associated with different risk types. In addition, the machine learning techniques in risk management were found to provide better and more accurate results than traditional statistical models. Though machine learning suggests improving banking risk management, there are some areas that need further study. For instance, the paper suggested in-depth studies on machine learning models for different types of banking risks.

Machine Learning in Banking Risk Management

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.

Families, Law, and Society

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Explores the failures of family court and calls for immediate and permanent change&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the turn of the twentieth century, American social reformers created the first juvenile court. They imagined a therapeutic court where informality, specially trained public servants, and a kindly, all-knowing judge would assist children and families. But the dream of a benevolent means of judicial problem-solving was never realized. A century later, children and families continue to be failed by this deeply flawed court.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The End of Family Court &lt;/i&gt;rejects the foundational premise that family court can do good when intervening in family life and challenges its endless reinvention to survive. Jane M. Spinak illustrates how the procedures and policies of modern family court are deeply entwined in a heritage of racism, a profound disdain for poverty, and assimilationist norms intent on fixing children and families who are different. And the court’s interventionist goals remain steeped in an approach to equity and well-being that demands individual rather than collective responsibility for the security and welfare of families.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Spinak proposes concrete steps toward abolishing the court: shifting most family supports out of the court’s sphere, vastly reducing the types and number of matters that need court intervention, and ensuring that any case that requires legal adjudication has the due process protections of a court of law. She calls for strategies that center trusting and respecting the abilities of communities to create and sustain meaningful solutions for families. An abolitionist approach, in turn, celebrates a radical imagination that embraces and supports all families in a fair and equal economic and political democracy.&lt;/p&gt;

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich BWL - Controlling, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit untersucht Bestandteile des Risikomanagements und fragt, ob das Risikomanagement eine effiziente und wertvolle Investition für Firmen ist. Dies wird getan anhand von mehreren Beispielen und Analysen von Risikomanagement Methoden. Als erstes werden kritische Begriffe im Bereich Risikomanagement geklärt die für die Verständnis von Wichtigkeit sind. Als nächstes werden mehrere Methoden analysiert und deren Vorteile, Nachteile und Effizienz untersucht. Diese umfassen beispielsweise die zwei Managementstile der Top-Down und Bottom-Up Methode. Danach wird das Enterprise Risikomanagement betrachtet, welches ein neuartiger Ansatz zum traditionellen Risikomanagement ist, und ob dieser Ansatz wirtschaftlichen Sinn macht. Als letztes wird ein Fallbeispiel über das Risikomanagement von BMW analysiert sowohl als auch die generelle finanzielle Sicht über das Risikomanagement gegeben.

&lt;div&gt;Crises present significant challenges for organizations. But, while critical events are inevitable, not every business is sufficiently equipped for when things don’t go according to plan. This book focuses on business under crisis conditions, along with organizational responses and adaptation. Adaptation can be seen as a learning process. It encompasses meaningful ways that help companies sustain their viability over the long term. Companies that respond quickly, often achieve more than just surviving. Some organizations will learn from a crisis, develop reactive resilience, and emerge stronger from the period of turbulence. They will be able to explore possibilities and create new patterns of relationships.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bringing together descriptive and prescriptive research studies, chapters explore adaptation in different sectors, including public health, tourism, garment, Information Technology, high-tech companies, global trade networks, hospitality, security and the social sector. Ultimately, the book covers wide range of topics, linking strategy, entrepreneurship, and leadership to reciprocal organizational adaptations that help us delineate crisis, as well as its interconnections in differing settings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
