Enhanced Immunization for Financial Institutions Using the Duration Vector

Enhanced Immunization for Financial Institutions Using the Duration Vector
Author: Donald R. Chambers

Total Pages: 46
Release: 1988
Genre: Asset-liability management
ISBN:

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of a duration vector developed by Chambers and others (1, 2, 3, 4) to reduce the interest-rate-risk exposure of a financial institution. Three balance sheets are constructed using the duration-vector. Each balance sheet is designed to eliminate the sensitivity of the financial institution's equity to interest-rate changes that affect the financial institutions' assets and liabilities. The three balance sheets are analyzed with interest-rate data from 1971-1983. The results indicate that the duration-vector is able to eliminate virtually all interest-rate risk.

ISBN:

The duration of large-scale violent civil conflict increases substantially if the society is composed of a few large ethnic groups, if there is extensive forest cover, and if the conflict has commenced since 1980. None of these factors affect the initiation of conflict. And neither the duration nor the initiation of conflict is affected by initial inequality or political repression.
