Contagion Risk and Network Design
Individuals derive benefits from their connections, but these may, at the same time, transmit external threats. Individuals therefore invest in security to protect themselves. However, the incentives to invest in security depend on their network exposures. We study the problem of designing a network that provides the right individual incentives. Motivated by cybersecurity, we first study the si...
متن کاملLiquidity Risk and Contagion
This paper explores liquidity risk in a system of interconnected financial institutions when these institutions are subject to regulatory solvency constraints and mark their assets to market. When the market’s demand for illiquid assets is less than perfectly elastic, sales by distressed institutions depress the market prices of such assets. Marking to market of the asset book can induce a furt...
متن کاملCredit Risk Transfer and Contagion∗
Some have argued that recent increases in credit risk transfer are desirable because they improve the diversification of risk. Others have suggested that they may be undesirable if they increase the risk of financial crises. Using a model with banking and insurance sectors, we show that credit risk transfer can be beneficial when banks face uniform demand for liquidity. However, when they face ...
متن کاملCredit contagion and credit risk
We study a simple, solvable model that allows us to investigate effects of credit contagion on the default probability of individual firms, in both portfolios of firms and on an economy wide scale. While the effect of interactions may be small in typical (most probable) scenarios they are magnified, due to feedback, by situations of economic stress, which in turn leads to fatter tails in loss d...
متن کاملStrategic Behavior and Endogenous Risk of Contagion in a Financial Network: A Network Formation Game
This paper attempts to analyze the endogenous risk of contagion within an interbank network resulting from an external shock hitting the system. It uses a network formation game theoretic model to investigate the strategic interactions that may be observed once the shock has entered the network and thus endogenized itself. The primary results of this model indicate that the marginal utility tha...
