Big Data, Big Brother, and Systemic Risk Measurement and Management
A recurring theme among the many narratives of the Financial
Crisis of 2008 is the complexity of the financial system and
the failure of private- and public-sector policies to anticipate
and attenuate the Crisis. This failure may be a symptom of the
emergence of a new type of risk to the financial system—systemic
risk—and the growing mismatch between rapidly evolving
financial technologies and increasingly antiquated regulations
that were never designed to address these challenges. However,
technology can also be used to improve regulation. In this talk,
Prof. Lo will provide an overview of new challenges to macroprudential
policies and the potential for big data analytics to transform
financial regulation, including self-stabilizing capital requirements,
machine-learning models for consumer credit risk management,
and aggregate risk measures that guarantee individual privacy.
Andrew W. Lo is the Charles E. and Susan T. Harris Professor, a
Professor of Finance, and the Director of the Laboratory for Financial
Engineering at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His awards include
the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship, the Paul A. Samuelson
Award, the American Association for Individual Investors Award,
and the 2001 IAFE-SunGard Financial Engineer of the Year Award.
