The regulatory implications of knowledge production through indicators
2021 || Hardcover || Shirley Kempeneer || Eleven international publishing
In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, governments introduced stress tests to measure and monitor banks’ health.

However, both protection arguments and context indicate wider implications of the issue, which include preservation of cultural heritage and exerci...
