Los bancos divulgan su exposición a los riesgos del mercado a través del Valor en Riesgo (Value at risk, VaR). Este trabajo evalúa la divulgación de esta medida de gestión del riesgo en el sector bancario español previo a la crisis española iniciada en el año 2008. Se efectuó un análisis de contenido de los informes anuales de los bancos en España. Se analizaron doce ítems en cuanto a la calidad de la información relacionada al VaR. Este estudio muestra que la divulgación efectuada previa a la crisis fue deficiente en términos de calidad y comparabilidad. También fue posible observar que la calidad de la información entregada acerca del VaR estuvo asociada positivamente al tamaño del banco. El caso del sector bancario español previo a la crisis destaca la importancia de mejorar la supervisión financiera y las prácticas de gestión de riesgos.text/htmlspaUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/2347http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/2347Copyright © 2014 Pablo FaríasAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad EAFITreponame:Repositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITAD-minister: No 25 (2014)Disclosure of the value at risk (VaR) before the crisis in the Spanish banking sectorDivulgación del valor en riesgo (VaR) previo a la crisis en el sector bancario españolarticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Value at riskspanish banking sectorrisk managementfinancial reportingannual reportValor en riesgosector bancario españolgestión del riesgoinformación financierareporte anual.Pablo FaríasDepartamento de Administración, Universidad de ChileAD-minister253747THUMBNAILminiatura-administer.jpgminiatura-administer.jpgimage/jpeg8755https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/607acf40-6bd6-4ce4-af77-5be2e9eaac16/download87c28d32b620f3408b1c70a3c505fbd8MD51ORIGINALDivulgación del valor en riesgo (VaR) previo a la crisis en el sector bancario español.pdfDivulgación del valor en riesgo (VaR) previo a la crisis en el sector bancario español.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf651691https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/99bdca9e-5477-4ce9-9c6f-a4b6a3691ce1/downloadfe775592fdcb337c4cea58d9c90ffd5dMD52articulo.htmlarticulo.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html374https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/6c1a59f2-094a-4dbb-8155-4225700b6538/downloaded6dc88af22fc4ddb166741579999d79MD5310784/13946oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/139462019-12-04 09:54:32.249open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
