shortfalls are measured relative to risk-weighted assets, the ranking of financial institutions is very different from the V …-Lab stress test, whereas when measured relative to total assets, the results are quite similar. We show that the risk measures … used in risk-weighted assets are cross-sectionally uncorrelated with market measures of risk as they do not account for the …

The extraordinary events surrounding the Great Recession have cast a considerable doubt on the traditional sources of macroeconomic instability. In their place, economists have singled out financial and uncertainty shocks as potentially important drivers of economic fluctuations. Empirically...

We build a new empirical model to estimate the global impact of an increase in the volatility of US monetary policy shocks. Specifically, we admit time-varying variances of local structural shocks from a stochastic volatility specification. By allowing for rich dynamic interaction between the...
