Key research themes

1. How do current liability accounting standards and risk assessment methodologies influence insurance reserving and solvency capital requirements?

This research area focuses on frameworks and quantitative methodologies for accurately estimating current liabilities in insurance contracts, explicitly addressing risk adjustments (RAs), reserving, and solvency capital under accounting standards like IFRS 17. As insurers face uncertainties in claims and operating cash flows, precise liability measurement and risk quantification are critical for regulatory compliance and financial stability.

Key finding: This paper develops a novel paid-incurred chain (PIC) model that integrates both incurred claims and paid losses to better estimate future unpaid liabilities for groups of insurance contracts, specifically auto insurance. The... Read more

2. What are the economic and legal implications of limited liability and joint tortfeasor insolvency on the apportionment of current liabilities and risk externalization?

This research investigates how legal doctrines of limited liability and insolvency of liable parties affect the assignment and efficiency of current liabilities in tort and contract law contexts. It examines the balance between promoting investment through limited liability and the moral hazard or externalization of risk that can arise from restricted claimant recovery. The theme addresses policy implications for liability allocation rules, joint and several liability mechanisms, and their effectiveness in internalizing the social costs of risk and insolvency.

Key finding: The study analyzes how joint tortfeasors' insolvency alters the efficiency of liability and damage apportionment rules, concluding that neither negligence nor strict liability nor joint and several liability uniformly... Read more

3. How do working capital management practices influence corporate liquidity and solvency, and what implications do these have for predicting financial distress and firm performance?

This research theme centers on the role of working capital components—particularly current assets and current liabilities—in affecting organizational liquidity, solvency, and overall financial health. It explores empirical relationships between working capital management ratios (e.g., current ratio, quick ratio, operating cash flow) and financial distress indicators, bankruptcy prediction, and firm profitability across sectors and countries. The findings inform actionable insights into optimizing current liabilities management to strengthen firm resilience and performance.

Key finding: Analyzing financial ratios related to liquidity (current and quick ratios) and solvency (debt to asset, debt to equity), this study finds that Ghanaian listed banks exhibited liquidity positions below expectations and high... Read more
