    This open access book focuses on how and why digital games and gambling are increasingly intertwined and asks “does this matter?” Looking at how “loot boxes” became the poster child for the convergence of gambling and gaming, Wardle traces how we got here. She argues that the intersection between gambling and gaming cultures has a long lineage, one that can be traced back throughout the 20th century but also incorporates more recent trends like the poker boom of the 1990s, the development of social media gambling products and the development of skin betting markets. Underpinned by changing technology, which facilitated new ways to bet, trade and play, the intersection between gaming and gambling cultures and products has accelerated within the last decade – and shows little signs of stopping. Wardle explores what this means for our understanding of risk, how gaming and gambling entities use each other for commercial advantage, and crucially explores what young people think of this, before making recommendations for action.

    Taking the cue from the currency of risk in popular and interdisciplinary academic discourse, this book explores the development of the English novel in relation to the emergence and institutionalization of risk, from its origins in probability theory in the late seventeenth century to the global ‘risk society’ in the twenty-first century. Focussing on 29 novels from Defoe to McEwan, this book argues for the contemporaneity of the rise of risk and the novel and suggests that there is much to gain from reading the risk society from a diachronic, literary-cultural perspective. Tracing changes and continuities, the fictional case studies reveal the human preoccupation with safety and control of the future. They show the struggle with uncertainties and the construction of individual or collective ‘logics’ of risk, which oscillate between rational calculation and emotion, helplessness and denial, and an enabling or destructive sense of adventure and danger. Advancing the study of risk in fiction beyond the confinement to dystopian disaster narratives, this book shows how topical notions, such as chance and probability, uncertainty and responsibility, fears of decline and transgression, all cluster around risk

    Die Auseinandersetzung mit der komplexen Semantik des Begriffs "Wagnis" sowie mit der des Nachbarbegriffs "Risiko" verspricht Aufschluss über wichtige Komponenten, wenn nicht sogar Grundzüge des literarischen Schreibens in der Moderne und zumal in der Gegenwart. Die Beiträge des komparatistischen DFG-Symposiums beleuchten die Geschichte der Konzeptualisierung des Wagnis-und des Risiko-Begriffs in literarischen, ästhetisch-poetologischen und historischen Kontexten. Dabei erörtern sie sowohl den Anteil, den die Literatur an Selbstbeschreibungen der Moderne im Zeichen von Wagnis- und Risikodiskursen hat, als auch dem spezifisch ,gewagten' oder ,riskanten' Grundzug literarischer-künstlerischer Arbeit selbst. Sie gliedern sich in fünf Sektionen: I. Diskursgeschichte des Risikos, II. Literatur und Wissensdiskurse als Risikodiskurse, III. Risiken literarischer/künstlerischer Produktion, Risiken der Verständigung, Risiken der Rezeption und medienbedingte Riskanzen, IV. Wagnis, Risiko und ihre Anschlussfähigkeit an poetologische Konzepte und Zentralbegriffe, V. Risiken und Wagnisse als Themen literarischer Darstellung

    In the wake of the global financial crisis that began in 2007, faith in the rationality of markets has lost ground to a new faith in their irrationality. The problem, Roman Frydman and Michael Goldberg argue, is that both the rational and behavioral theories of the market rest on the same fatal assumption--that markets act mechanically and economic change is fully predictable. In Beyond Mechanical Markets, Frydman and Goldberg show how the failure to abandon this assumption hinders our understanding of how markets work, why price swings help allocate capital to worthy companies, and what role

    In Risikodebatten manifestiert sich die gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Neuen, dem Unbekannten, der Zukunft. Welche Praktiken, Artefakte oder auch natürliche Prozesse eine Gesellschaft als riskant ansieht, erlaubt Rückschlüsse auf grundlegende Transformationsprozesse: Risikodiskurse wirken bei der Ausbildung staatlicher Institutionen, rechtlicher Verfahren und wissenschaftlicher Techniken mit und sind Gegenstand kultureller Selbstvergewisserung.In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes wird gezeigt: Die Analyse solcher Risikodiskurse mit literatur- und geschichtswissenschaftlichen Methoden verhilft dazu, jene Regeln aufzudecken, denen die Sichtbarmachung von Gefahren gehorcht, und sie legt offen, wer wann zu welchem Zweck Risikodebatten führt.

    Taking the cue from the currency of risk in popular and interdisciplinary academic discourse, this book explores the development of the English novel in relation to the emergence and institutionalization of risk, from its origins in probability theory in the late seventeenth century to the global ‘risk society’ in the twenty-first century. Focussing on 29 novels from Defoe to McEwan, this book argues for the contemporaneity of the rise of risk and the novel and suggests that there is much to gain from reading the risk society from a diachronic, literary-cultural perspective. Tracing changes and continuities, the fictional case studies reveal the human preoccupation with safety and control of the future. They show the struggle with uncertainties and the construction of individual or collective ‘logics’ of risk, which oscillate between rational calculation and emotion, helplessness and denial, and an enabling or destructive sense of adventure and danger. Advancing the study of risk in fiction beyond the confinement to dystopian disaster narratives, this book shows how topical notions, such as chance and probability, uncertainty and responsibility, fears of decline and transgression, all cluster around risk

    Die Auseinandersetzung mit der komplexen Semantik des Begriffs "Wagnis" sowie mit der des Nachbarbegriffs "Risiko" verspricht Aufschluss über wichtige Komponenten, wenn nicht sogar Grundzüge des literarischen Schreibens in der Moderne und zumal in der Gegenwart. Die Beiträge des komparatistischen DFG-Symposiums beleuchten die Geschichte der Konzeptualisierung des Wagnis-und des Risiko-Begriffs in literarischen, ästhetisch-poetologischen und historischen Kontexten. Dabei erörtern sie sowohl den Anteil, den die Literatur an Selbstbeschreibungen der Moderne im Zeichen von Wagnis- und Risikodiskursen hat, als auch dem spezifisch ,gewagten' oder ,riskanten' Grundzug literarischer-künstlerischer Arbeit selbst. Sie gliedern sich in fünf Sektionen: I. Diskursgeschichte des Risikos, II. Literatur und Wissensdiskurse als Risikodiskurse, III. Risiken literarischer/künstlerischer Produktion, Risiken der Verständigung, Risiken der Rezeption und medienbedingte Riskanzen, IV. Wagnis, Risiko und ihre Anschlussfähigkeit an poetologische Konzepte und Zentralbegriffe, V. Risiken und Wagnisse als Themen literarischer Darstellung

    A large number of measures for monitoring risk and uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic and financial outcomes have been proposed in the literature, and these measures are frequently used by market participants, policy makers, and researchers in their analyses. However, risk and uncertainty measures differ across multiple dimensions, including the method of calculation, the underlying outcome (that is, the asset price or macroeconomic variable), and the horizon at which they are calculated. Therefore, in this paper, we review the literature on global risk, uncertainty, and volatility measures drawing on internal and external academic research as well as ongoing monitoring conducted by the Federal Reserve Board's economics divisions to catalog measures by method of data collection, computation, and subject. We first explore a set of non asset-marketbased measures of risk and uncertainty, including news-based and survey-based uncertainty measures of monetary policy and macroeconomic outcomes. We then turn to asset-market-based measures of risk uncertainty for equity prices, interest rates, currencies, oil prices, and inflation
