Published / Preprint: A Systemic Stress Test Model in Bank-Asset Networks. (arXiv:1410.0104v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 01 Oct 2014 05:40 PM PDT

Financial networks are dynamic and to assess systemic importance and avert losses we needs models which take the time variations of the links and nodes into account. We develop a model that can predict the response of the financial network to a shock and propose a measure for the systemic importance of the banks, which we call BankRank. Using the European Bank Authority 2011 stress test exposure...

In this paper we present a slight modification of the Fourier estimation method of the spot volatility (matrix) process of a continuous It\^o semimartingale where the estimators are always non-negative definite. Since the estimators are factorized, computational cost will be saved a lot.

Published / Preprint: Systemic Interbank Network Risks in Russia. (arXiv:1410.0125v1 [physics.soc-ph])

Posted: 01 Oct 2014 05:40 PM PDT

Modelling of contagion in interbank networks is discussed. A model taking into account bow-tie structure and dissasortativity of interbank networks is developed. The model is shown to provide a good quantitative description of the Russian interbank market. Detailed arguments favoring the non-percolative nature of contagion-related risks in the Russian interbank market are given.

Published / Preprint: On the convergence of the Fitness-Complexity Algorithm. (arXiv:1410.0249v1 [q-fin.EC])

Posted: 01 Oct 2014 05:40 PM PDT

We investigate the convergence properties of an algorithm which has been recently proposed to measure the competitiveness of countries and the quality of their exported products. These quantities are called respectively Fitness F and Complexity Q. The algorithm was originally based on the adjacency matrix M of the bipartite network connecting countries with the products they export, but can be...
