This paper proposes and demonstrates a methodology for modeling correlated systemic solvency and liquidity risks for a banking system. Using a forward looking simulation of many risk factors applied to detailed balance sheets for a 10 bank stylized United States banking system, we analyze...

Liquidity mismatch—the risk of a bank being unable to fund increases in assets or meet its obligations as they come due—increased in the U.S. banking sector during the run-up to the financial crisis, especially at the largest institutions, contributing to bank failure and distress

We analyze the determinants of individual bank failures arising from solvency and liquidity shortages in a stylized banking system following Krause and Giansante (2012) where banks are characterized by the amount of capital, cash reserves and their exposure to the interbank loan market as...
