loss advisories and drawdowns loss advisories and drawdowns are tools used to highlight to senior management trading losses above certain levels and initiate discus- sion of remedies . economic value stress testing while var reflects the risk of loss due to adverse changes in normal markets , stress testing captures the firm 2019s exposure to unlikely but plausible events in abnormal markets . the firm conducts economic value stress tests for both its trading and nontrading activities at least every two weeks using multiple scenarios that assume credit spreads widen significantly , equity prices decline and interest rates rise in the major currencies . additional scenarios focus on the risks predominant in individual business segments and include scenarios that focus on the potential for adverse moves in complex portfolios . periodically , scenarios are reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the firm 2019s risk profile and economic events . along with var , stress testing is important in measuring and controlling risk . stress testing enhances the understanding of the firm 2019s risk profile and loss poten- tial , and stress losses are monitored against limits . stress testing is also utilized in one-off approvals and cross-business risk measure- ment , as well as an input to economic capital allocation . stress-test results , trends and explanations are provided at least every two weeks to the firm 2019s senior management and to the lines of business to help them better measure and manage risks and understand event risk-sensitive positions . earnings-at-risk stress testing the var and stress-test measures described above illustrate the total economic sensitivity of the firm 2019s balance sheet to changes in market variables . the effect of interest rate exposure on reported net income is also important . interest rate risk exposure in the firm 2019s core non- trading business activities ( i.e. , asset/liability management positions ) results from on- and off-balance sheet positions and can occur due to a variety of factors , including : 2022 differences in the timing among the maturity or repricing of assets , liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments . for example , if liabilities reprice quicker than assets and funding interest rates are declining , earnings will increase initially . 2022 differences in the amounts of assets , liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments that are repricing at the same time . for exam- ple , if more deposit liabilities are repricing than assets when gen- eral interest rates are declining , earnings will increase initially . 2022 differences in the amounts by which short-term and long-term market interest rates change . for example , changes in the slope of the yield curve because the firm has the ability to lend at long-term fixed rates and borrow at variable or short-term fixed rates . based upon these scenarios , the firm 2019s earnings would be affected negatively by a sudden and unanticipated increase in short-term rates paid on its liabilities ( e.g. , deposits ) without a corresponding increase in long-term rates received on its assets ( e.g. , loans ) . conversely , higher long-term rates received on assets generally are beneficial to earnings , particularly when the increase is not accompanied by rising short-term rates paid on liabilities . 2022 the impact of changes in the maturity of various assets , liabilities or off-balance sheet instruments as interest rates change . for example , if more borrowers than forecasted pay down higher rate loan balances when general interest rates are declining , earnings may decrease initially . the firm manages interest rate exposure related to its assets and lia- bilities on a consolidated , corporate-wide basis . business units trans- fer their interest rate risk to treasury through a transfer-pricing sys- tem , which takes into account the elements of interest rate exposure that can be risk-managed in financial markets . these elements include asset and liability balances and contractual rates of interest , contractual principal payment schedules , expected prepayment expe- rience , interest rate reset dates and maturities , rate indices used for re-pricing , and any interest rate ceilings or floors for adjustable rate products . all transfer-pricing assumptions are dynamically reviewed . the firm conducts simulations of changes in net interest income from its nontrading activities under a variety of interest rate scenar- ios . earnings-at-risk tests measure the potential change in the firm 2019s net interest income , and the corresponding impact to the firm 2019s pre- .
