Speaker: John Crosby

Title: Reflections on trading and hedging complex derivatives: Is the business model broken?

Abstract: We ask if the business model used by banks to price and hedge complex derivatives is broken. Answering our own question in the affirmative, we propose simple-to-implement fixes which are based on more fundamental economic analysis and on banks holding reserves against market imperfections and model risks.
