As part of a lecture for students of the third semester of the Master's degree program in Finance and Accounting for Business, Professor Walker presented details of his research on the impact of natural disasters (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, etc.) on the solvency of the banking sector around the world, with particular emphasis on the United States as a financial market with exceptional fragmentation and decentralization.
