The document discusses managing risk in international business through a new framework that overcomes shortcomings of traditional techniques. The framework uses market data to generate parameters compatible with modern portfolio theory. It establishes accounting disciplines to define income, expenditures, and link them to balance sheets. This allows estimating new decision making parameters like macroeconomic profits and a country's financial risk premium. The framework is then assessed through country forecasts and performance measurements of international portfolios over various time periods.
