This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of macro stress-testing methodologies. Substantial progress has been made both in the econometric analysis of financial soundness indicators and in the simulation of value-at-risk measures to assess system-wide vulnerabilities. However, a number of methodological challenges still remain concerning the correlation of market and credit risks over time and a...

This paper develops a simple calculus for order of magnitude reasoning. A semantics is given with soundness and completeness results. Order of magnitude probability functions are easily defined and turn out to be equivalent to kappa functions, which are slight generalisations of Spohn’s Natural Conditional Functions. The calculus also gives rise to an order of magnitude decision theory, which c...

We present a method for hierarchically generating sound workflow nets by substitution of nets with multiple inputs and outputs. We show that this method is correct and generalizes the class of nets generated by other hierarchical approaches. The method involves a new notion of soundness which is preserved by the generalized type of substitution that is with the presented type of generalized sub...

This paper is concerned with systemic risk in the interbank market. We model this market as a directed graph in which the banks represent the nodes and the liabilities between the banks represent the edges. Our work builds on the modelling paradigm of Eisenberg and Noe (2001), extending it by introducing default costs in the system. We provide a rigorous analysis of those situations in which ba...

Banking regulation and supervision were designed to protect banks from failure, but this did not avoid the large number of banking crises recently experienced by OECD countries. Using binary response models for panel data and centering on OECD countries, this paper emphasizes the poor influence of regulation and supervision on banks’ soundness and presents the main determinants of banking crise...

32 The rising costs of complying with supervisory demands have brought the issue of regulatory burden to the attention of both lawmakers and bank regulators. But one relatively underappreciated aspect of regulatory burden is the potential for the supervisory process to impose conflicting demands on banks. In October 1977, Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) as Title VIII of the...
