This paper presents a new theory that explains why it is beneficial for banks to be highly interconnected and to engage in herding behavior. It shows that these two important causes of systemic risk are interdependent and thus cannot be considered in isolation. The reason is that banks have an...

bank when its partner bank fails. We investigate how capital constraints affect the choice of the healthy bank to takeover … or liquidate the exposure held jointly with the failing bank, and how the bank's ex ante optimal capital holding and … possibility of contagion are affected by anticipation of bail-out policy, capital requirements and the joint exposure. We identify …

The banking system is highly interconnected and these connections can be conveniently represented as an interbank network. This survey presents a systematic overview of the recent advances in the theoretical literature on interbank networks. We assess our current understanding of the structure...

The objective of this research is to examine the inter-bank network of clients as a channel for credit risk … banking network channel. There were different models of bank behaviour, from a group of banks that fully aligned their risk …

In this paper we present a methodology of model-based calibration of additional capital needed in an interconnected financial system to minimize potential contagion losses. Building on ideas from combinatorial optimization tailored to controlling contagion in case of complete information about...

We study systemic illiquidity using a unique data set on UK banks' daily cash flows, short-term interbank funding and liquid asset buffers. Failure to roll-over short-term funding or repay obligations when they fall due generates an externality in the form of systemic illiquidity. We simulate a...

We provide a simple and tractable accounting-based stress-testing framework to assess loss dynamics in the banking sector, in a context of leverage targeting. Contagion can occur through direct interbank exposures, and indirect exposures due to overlapping portfolios with the associated price...

This paper investigates the effects of contagion in interbank lending networks. I introduce a new measure based on the harmonic distance of Acemoglu et al. (2015b) and, motivated by their theoretical results, compare it to well-known centrality measures already applied in the systemic risk...
