Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2008 financial crisis, the COVID 19 pandemic and the recent geopolitical uncertainties have demonstrated that companies with adequate risk management systems are more likely to survive. Similarly, proactive risk management attitudes are effective hedging strategies in times of uncertainty. However, although risk management is a relevant topic in the financial economics literature, a stakeholder’s approach is still needed. In other words, risk management must be addressed from a sustainable perspective, which ultimately has a wider positive impact.
Aside from these unpredicted events, risk management is related to the environment, namely the economic policy and institutional quality of a country. On the one hand, uncertainty related to economic decisions is a challenging issue that innovative risk management strategies should consider. Moreover, in an increasingly connected world, economic policy decisions in one country influence others. The impact of this uncertainty affects all the economic players, and thus, sustainable risk management strategies must be implemented. On the other hand, when institutions are adequately, risk management policies are more sustainable, since they are used as a last resort. Accordingly, institutional quality plays a relevant complementary role with respect to risk management, especially in uncertain times.
This Special Issue is devoted to describing and analyzing the new challenges, trends, and strategies in sustainable risk management, with particular emphasis on the role of a country’s economic policy and institutional quality. We welcome quantitative or qualitative manuscripts related (but not limited) to the following topics:
- Economic impacts of sustainable risk management;

- Sustainable risk management and value creation for stakeholders;
