Kapetanios, George; Pesaran, M. Hashem; Reese, Simon - 2018
The importance of units with pervasive impacts on a large number of other units in a network has become increasingly recognized in the literature. In this paper we propose a new method to detect such influential or dominant units by basing our analysis on unit-specific residual error variances...

The funds concentration effect and discriminatory bailout
Erlenmaier, Ulrich; Gersbach, Hans - 2001
In the presence of macroeconomic shocks severe enough to threaten the liquidity or solvency of the banking system, the regulator can rely on the funds concentration effect to save long-term investment projects. Some banks are forced into bankruptcy with the result that other banks obtain more...

Fire sales and ex ante valuation of systemic risk : a financial equilibrium networks approach
Bougheas, Spiros P.; Spencer, Adam Hal - 2022
We introduce endogenous fire sales into a simple network model. For any given initial distribution of shocks across the network, we develop a clearing algorithm to solve for the financial equilibrium. We then utilise the results to perform ex ante risk assessment and derive risk premia for every...

Contagion in financial networks : a threat index
Demange, Gabrielle - 2015
Interbank claims are a concern to regulators as they might facilitate the dissemination of defaults and generate spill-over effects. Building on a simple model, this paper introduces a measure of the spill-over effects that a bank generates when it defaults. The measure is based on an explicit...

Macroeconomic effects of unconventional monetary policy in the Euro area
Peersman, Gert - 2011 - This draft: July 2011
I find that the Eurosystem can stimulate the economy beyond the policy rate by increasing the size of its balance sheet or the monetary base, that is so-called quantitative easing. The transmission mechanism turns out to be different compared to traditional interest rate innovations: (i) whilst...
