Financial Regulation and Risk Management in the Conditions of Global Uncertainty

Dear Colleagues,

Financial economics and management are promising spheres for scientific research aimed at explaining the trends in the development of the world economic system and elaborating on the issue of adapting economic subjects to these trends. The 21st century started with the world financial and economic crisis (2008) and, at the end of its first quarter, is undergoing high global uncertainty due to the reconsideration of the foundations of international trade, the transformation of transnational supply and sales chains, and changes in international financial transactions.

This Special Issue of JRFM is an attempt to unify the leading research in the sphere of the financial regulation of the economy by state regulators, as well as risk management and financial management through the subject of corporate governance in conditions of global uncertainty. This Special Issue is aimed at marrying the theory of financial economics and risk management with the practice of business cyclicity, international economic relations, and international trade to adapt economic subjects of state and corporate management to the current conditions of global uncertainty and to reduce this uncertainty with the help of financial and economic planning as well as forecasting.

We recommend that authors confirm their conclusions with reliable empirical studies based on official international statistics and urge them to prefer reliable methods of econometrics. We welcome papers that attempt to bridge the gap between the past paradigm of financial economics, new realities of the world economic system, and the modern image of global finance. We also welcome multidisciplinary studies at the intersection of financial economics and risk management with such relevant spheres of scientific knowledge as sustainable development, climate economics and management, high technologies, digitalization, and industrial revolutions.

We welcome authors to participate in the discussion of new approaches to financial regulation and new methods of risk management in conditions of global uncertainty to raise the financial effectiveness of economic activities, financial stabilization, and crisis management. We suggest that authors pay attention to the issues of the development and implementation of innovative strategies of financial management in the wide-ranging industries and geographical range of world markets. We expect and hope that the papers of this Special Issue will form the most comprehensive idea of financial architecture, a set of financial and non-financial risks of the world economy, and perspectives of financial regulation and risk management in the modern conditions of global uncertainty.
