This paper develops a framework for the short-term modelling of market risk and shock propagation in the investment funds sector, including bi-layer contagion effects through funds' cross-holdings and overlapping exposures. Our work tackles in particular climate risk, with a first-of-its-kind...

Using a stress test framework, this paper examines what impact climate policy shocks might have on the Korean financial system. The results show that transition risks, the risks associated with low-carbon transition plans, have a negative impact on the economy and on the financial system over...

We present a multi-city economic model to study the endogenous choice of migration and to evaluate various policy alternatives during a pandemic. We combine a traditional epidemic dynamic model with endogenous migration decisions between cities and provide analytical solutions under two...

We present a multi-city migration model to study the endogenous choices of migration during a pandemic and to evaluate various policy alternatives as well. Analytical solutions are provided under the two situations respectively: laissez-faire equilibrium and social optimum. We find that...

Fighting climate change is one of the biggest challenges in the 21st century. Climate change that leads to global warming has been increasingly visible in our environment. Extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts have been escalating and their acceleration can be...

We study whether floods can affect financial stability through a credit risk channel. Our focus is on the Netherlands, a country situated partly below sea level, where insurance policies exclude property damages caused by some types of floods. Using geocoded data for close to EUR 650 billion in...

Climate risk has become a major concern for financial institutions and financial markets. Yet, climate policy is still in its infancy and contributes to increased uncertainty. For example, the lack of a sufficiently high carbon price and the variety of definitions for green activities lower the...

Using a stock-flow-fund ecological macroeconomic model, we analyse (i) the effects of climate change on financial stability and (ii) the financial and global warming implications of a green quantitative easing (QE) programme. Emphasis is placed on the impact of climate change damages on the...

Climate change could impose systemic risks upon the financial sector, either via disruptions in economic activity resulting from the physical impacts of climate change or changes in policies as the economy transitions to a less carbon-intensive environment. We develop a stress testing procedure...
