16 moral hazard

моральный риск

а) в страховом деле - риск недобросовестности, недобросовестного поведения застрахованного лица

moral hazard - a risk to an insurance company resulting from uncertainty about the honesty of the insured (American Heritage Dictionary).

б) в экономике - риске безответственного или, в зависимости от ситуации, недобросовестного финансового поведения (инвестора или должника); такое словоупотребление особенно характерно для крайних либералов-рыночников

The U.S. government's regular practice of extending guarantees to certain countries experiencing financial difficulties […] sends a message to investors, both foreign and domestic, that they can invest with little fear of a total loss. […] That situation is analogous to the moral hazard created by federal deposit insurance. Depositors do not scrutinize banks' financial strengths and weaknesses because they bear no risk of a loss (из доклада Cato Institute).

A number of industries are trying to take advantage of extraordinary times, to get aid that runs counter to market principles. It creates a dangerous precedent and underscores the old moral hazard problem.

The proposals are designed to help resolve the 'moral hazard' problem created by IMF bailouts. Bailouts encourage reckless lending, their critics allege, because lenders are led to believe that if things go wrong the IMF will rescue them (Centre for Economic Policy Research).

Wednesday night's bailout of Long-Term Capital Management, a high-flying hedge fund, has the smell of $3.5 billion worth of moral hazard (из передовой статьи в Wall Street Journal). — Принятое в среду вечером решение о предоставлении экстренной помощи в размере 3,5 миллиарда долларов небезызвестному хедж-фонду Long-Term Capital Management – это, судя по всему, не что иное, как приглашение к безответственности.

17 moral hazard

•• * Первоначально термин moral hazard применялся в страховом деле. Так он отражен в словаре American Heritage Dictionary, который определяет moral hazard как a risk to an insurance company resulting from uncertainty about the honesty of the insured. Перевод напрашивается – риск недобросовестности ( недобросовестного поведения застрахованного лица). Но в последнее время этот термин употребляется гораздо шире – и его расширительное значение не вполне понятно даже подготовленным англоязычным читателям. Так, после обсуждения в одном из форумов в Интернете один из участников сделал вывод: It appears insurance companies use the phrase “ moral hazard” in a more specific way than professional economists do. Добавлю от себя, что такое словоупотребление особенно характерно для крайних либералов-рыночников. Пример из доклада Cato Institute – ведущего «мозгового центра» этого направления:

•• The U.S. government’s regular practice of extending guarantees to certain countries experiencing financial difficulties <...> sends a message to investors, both foreign and domestic, that they can invest with little fear of a total loss. <...> That situation is analogous to the moral hazard created by federal deposit insurance. Depositors do not scrutinize banks’ financial strengths and weaknesses because they bear no risk of a loss.
•• Должен заметить, что теоретиков, по-моему, явно «занесло». Я что-то плохо представляю себе, чтобы я и миллионы мне подобных стали изучать и сравнивать финансовые показатели, скажем, банков J.P. Morgan Chase и HSBC, прежде чем открывать там счет или сохранять уже имеющийся. Впрочем, принципиально в этой цитате другое – инвесторы (или вкладчики) в данном случае не обвиняются в недобросовестности (скорее – в некоторой беспечности, безответственности).
•• Аналогичный пример – высказывание ведущего научного сотрудника Hudson Institute:
•• A number of industries are trying to take advantage of extraordinary times, to get aid that runs counter to market principles. It creates a dangerous precedent and underscores the old moral hazard problem.
•• Речь здесь идет о «разлагающем эффекте», опасности привыкания к государственной поддержке. Экономисты разрабатывают предложения, направленные на противодействие этой тенденции:
•• The proposals are designed to help resolve the ‘moral hazard’ problem created by IMF bailouts. Bailouts encourage reckless lending, their critics allege, because lenders are led to believe that if things go wrong the IMF will rescue them. (Center for Economic Policy Research) (Bailout – экстренная финансовая помощь).
•• Здесь интересно помещение термина в кавычки и его объяснение для непосвященных.
•• Предлагаемый перевод – моральный риск – я считаю «условно адекватным», т.е. приемлемым с некоторыми оговорками. Поясню, что имеется в виду.
•• Если термин не слишком известен и не вполне понятен даже там, где он возник, то он вполне условен, и столь же условен – то есть не вполне понятен – может быть и его перевод. Проблема – «просветительская» и в стране происхождения термина, и в стране перевода. Переводчик, скажем, когда он имеет дело с документами финансовых или страховых учреждений, может воспользоваться калькой моральный риск, в случае необходимости пояснив, что речь идет о риске безответственного или, в зависимости от ситуации, недобросовестного финансового поведения (страхуемого лица, инвестора или должника). В итоге такой «просветительской работы» термин постепенно станет понятен большинству читателей.
•• Несколько иначе обстоит дело при переводе публицистики. Здесь совершенно необязательно придерживаться терминологичности, тем более сырой, несложившейся. Вот пример из передовой статьи в Wall Street Journal:
•• Wednesday night’s bailout of Long-Term Capital Management, a high-flying hedge fund, has the smell of $3.5 billion worth of moral hazard.
•• В переводе лучше обойтись без термина – взять быка за рога и заодно передать несколько высокомерно-назидательный тон статьи:
•• Принятое в среду вечером решение о предоставлении экстренной помощи в размере 3,5 миллиарда долларов небезызвестному хедж-фонду Long-Term Capital Management – это, судя по всему, не что иное, как приглашение к безответственности.
•• В перспективе термин моральный риск, видимо, войдет в общепринятый экономический лексикон и, возможно, не будет нуждаться в пояснениях. Так произошло, например, со словосочетанием политически корректный, укоренившимся именно в этом виде, хотя для перевода politically correct предлагались в свое время варианты и получше, например, общественно приемлемый (Г.В. Черновым в словаре Americana) и даже идеологически выдержанный (В. Ланчиковым в рецензии на этот словарь).
