Basis risk: an expository note

OPEC Review, 1999
More attention needs to be paid to the mechanics of basis risk. The Metallgesellschaft debacle was mainly due to very large margin calls in conjunction with unfavourable changes in the basis, although this easily verifiable fact does not seem to be widely appreciated.

The Statutory Basis of Risk Assessment

1984
American society has become increasingly concerned with the environmental, health, and safety risks posed by technology. This concern has led to two developments. One is the passage of numerous federal statutes regulating risk. The other is the development of increasingly sophisticated techniques for the assessment of risk.

Acceptable risk as a basis for design

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 1998
Abstract Historically, human civilisations have striven to protect themselves against natural and man-made hazards. The degree of protection is a matter of political choice. Today this choice should be expressed in terms of risk and acceptable probability of failure to form the basis of the probabilistic design of the protection.

Skewness, Basis Risk, and Optimal Futures Demand

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
We propose a maximum-expected utility hedging model with futures where cash and futures returns follow a bivariate skew-normal distribution, such to consider the effect of negative skewness on the optimal futures demand. Relative to the benchmark of bivariate normality, negative skewness has a material impact when the agent is significantly risk-averse.

Don’t dismiss pioglitazone on basis of uncertain risk

BMJ, 2016
Tuccori and colleagues conclude that the use of pioglitazone is associated with increased risk of bladder cancer.1 However, in this study pioglitazone and non-pioglitazone users were not matched and, despite adjustment, pioglitazone users were older, had type 2 diabetes for longer, and had worse glycaemic control than non-pioglitazone users.2 It is ...

Portfolio hedging and basis risks

Applied Financial Economics, 1996
Minimum variance hedged portfolios using futures are formed by taking the linear projection of spot price changes onto futures price movements as the hedge ratio. This unwittingly assumes that the underlying spot-futures price movements follow a cointegrated process, given that the spot and the futures prices are integrated processes.

Acceptable risk as a basis for regulation.

RadioGraphics, 1991
In recent years, guidelines for radiation protection have increasingly been based on estimates of the risks associated with radiation exposures and judgments regarding acceptable levels of risk. This leads to a more objective basis for regulations if the risk estimates are accurate.

Preoxygenation: Physiologic Basis, Benefits, and Potential Risks

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2017
Preoxygenation before anesthetic induction and tracheal intubation is a widely accepted maneuver, designed to increase the body oxygen stores and thereby delay the onset of arterial hemoglobin desaturation during apnea. Because difficulties with ventilation and intubation are unpredictable, the need for preoxygenation is desirable in all patients ...
