The study of risk management began after World War II. Risk management has long been associated
with the use of market insurance to protect individuals and companies from various losses associated
with accidents. Other forms of risk management, alternatives to market insurance, surfaced during the
1950s when market insurance was perceived as very costly and incomplete for protection against pure
risk. The use of derivatives as risk management instruments arose during the 1970s, and expanded
rapidly during the 1980s, as companies intensified their financial risk management. International risk
regulation began in the 1980s, and financial firms developed internal risk management models and
capital calculation formulas to hedge against unanticipated risks and reduce regulatory capital.
Concomitantly, governance of risk management became essential, integrated risk management was
introduced, and the chief risk officer positions were created. Nonetheless, these regulations, governance
rules, and risk management methods failed to prevent the financial crisis that began in 2007.
