Commentary: The “Big C”: Identifying and Mitigating Contagion
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a large literature on contagion. It is perhaps the most important systemic risk to the financial system. The term is widely used so this covers many topics. The paper starts with a discussion of exactly how the term is used. Perhaps most importantly it is used to refer to the spread of crises from one country to another through real links such as trade, through portfolio rebalancing and through the banking system. By and large these literatures developed fairly independently from each other. They cross reference each other but that is all.
