Key Points: 
  • This paper, by means of a DSGE model including heterogeneous firms and banks, financial frictions and prudential regulation, first shows the need of climate-related capital requirements in the existing prudential framework.
  • We further show that relying on microprudential regulation alone would not be enough to account for the systemic dimension of transition risk.

Effective Communication in Automobile Recalls Encourages Corrective Action Among American Drivers, Finds Pusan National University Researcher

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, October 18, 2022

BUSAN, South Korea, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Automobile recalls for manufacturing defects are essential to minimize potential risks and enhance public safety. In the event of a recall, the manufacturer issues a recall letter to the vehicle owner, which communicates the details of the risk involved and subsequent corrective actions. However, it is not clear whether recall letters result in prompt corrective actions. This motivated Prof. Yong-Kyun Bae from Pusan National University in Korea to investigate corrective behavior among American vehicle owners in response to automobile recalls. "Consumers always face potential risks from defective products. Without proper treatment and preventive tools via product recalls, they cannot be free from unreasonable risks and accidental harm," notes Prof. Bae.

Key Points: 
  • This motivated Prof. Yong-Kyun Bae from Pusan National University in Korea to investigate corrective behavior among American vehicle owners in response to automobile recalls.
  • Second, more vehicle owners took prompt corrective measures when the letter emphasized that the corrective procedure was "free of charge."
  • On one hand were the "procrastinators," who only take corrective actions in cases of high-risk defects and inexpensive corrective procedures.
  • To improve the correction rate, the study recommends that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) enforce corrective actions on procrastinators.
