Banking risk has gained interest from researchers after the global financial crisis and implementation of Basel III norms. The present study performs a scientific bibliometric analysis of research on banking risk till data. Research has been conducted on five major types of banking risks -credit, operational, market, liquidity, and interest rate risk -from 967 publications on Scopus database from 1967 to 2021. The results suggest that the research in the area is dominated by the United States, the United Kingdom, and China. The publications in top journals in the domain of finance and economics are less, but the number has increased after 2008-2009. The paper also performs content analysis on top-cited papers of five risk categories to find major themes and theoretical, practical, and methodological contributions. These findings suggest scope for more research in risks other than credit and operating risks, as existing research is centred around modelling risk and predicting default rates. Researchers in the area should focus on programming and machine learning tools. Regarding policy implications, the research identifies key publications in risk modelling, which can be used as the basis of improved supervisory mechanisms and internal controls.

PurposeThe current study is to examine the association between cognitive abilities and financial resilience among millennial single parents. This study examines the role of cognitive abilities on financial resilience after controlling for key demographic variables – gender, age, university degree, employment status and staying with parents.Design/methodology/approachUsing the ordered logit regression approach, the authors analyzed results for 395 single parents (237 single mothers and 159 single fathers) aged 31 to 40 in India. Financial resilience is measured using economic resources, financial resources, financial knowledge and behavior, and social capital. The authors further provide several robustness tests to validate their findings. The results are controlled for state-fixed effects.FindingsThe authors find a significant impact of single parents' cognitive abilities on their financial resilience. This study also found that gender, age, university degree, employment status and staying with parents influence single parents' financial resilience. Single mothers are found to have higher levels of both cognitive abilities and financial resilience scores than single fathers.Practical implicationsFinancial institutions, marketers and financial advisors can find innovative ways to increase the financial resilience of single parents by improving their cognitive ability. Also, policymakers should focus on interventions to increase single parents' education level to increase their financial resilience and provide policy support to those without any parental support system.Originality/valueThis study extends the literature on financial resilience in two directions – by establishing a relationship between cognitive abilities and financial resilience and studying the financial resilience of a vulnerable societal section-millennial single parents. The study also extends the literature on single parents' financial vulnerability by establishing a relationship between key demographic variables and their financial resilience.

Purpose This paper aims to review, systematize and integrate existing research on disposition effect and investments. This study conducts bibliometric analysis, including performance analysis and science mapping and thematic analysis of studies on disposition effect. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a thematic and bibliometric analysis of the papers related to the disposition effect. A total of 231 papers published from 1971 to 2021 were retrieved from the Scopus database for the study, and bibliometric analysis and thematic analysis were performed. Findings This study’s findings demonstrate that research on the disposition effect is interdisciplinary and influences the research in the domain of both corporate and behavioral finance. This review indicates limited research on cross-country data. This study indicates a strong presence of work on investor psychology and behavioral finance when it comes to the disposition effect. The findings of thematic analysis further highlight that most of the research has focused on prospect theory, trading strategies and a few cognitive and emotional biases. Practical implications The findings of this study can be used by investors to minimize their biases and losses. The study also highlights new techniques in machine learning and neurosciences, which can help investment firms better understand their clients’ behavior. Policymakers can use the study’s findings to nudge investors’ behavior, focusing on minimizing the effects of the disposition effect. Originality/value This study has performed the quantitative bibliometric and thematic analysis of existing studies on the disposition effect and identified areas of future research on the phenomenon of disposition effect in investments.
