Complexity, concentration and contagion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a network model of interbank lending in which unsecured claims, repo activity and shocks to the haircuts applied to collateral assume centre stage, and show how systemic liquidity crises of the kind associated with the interbank market collapse of 2007-2008 can arise within such a framework, with funding contagion spreading widely through the web of interlinkages.

Financial Networks and Contagion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors model contagions and cascades of failures among organizations linked through a network of financial interdependencies and identify how the network propagates discontinuous changes in asset values triggered by failures.

Bank Risk-Taking, Securitization, Supervision and Low Interest Rates: Evidence from the Euro Area and the U.S. Lending Standards

TL;DR: The authors found that low monetary policy short-term interest rates soften standards, especially for mortgages, for household and corporate loans, and that this softening is amplified by securitization activity, weak supervision for bank capital and too low for too long monetary policy rates.

Market liquidity and funding liquidity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a model that links an asset's market liquidity and traders' funding liquidity, i.e., the ease with which they can obtain funding, to explain the empirically documented features that market liquidity can suddenly dry up, has commonality across securities, is related to volatility, is subject to flight to quality, and comoves with the market.

No Contagion, Only Interdependence: Measuring Stock Market Comovements

TL;DR: The authors showed that correlation coefficients are conditional on market volatility, and that there was virtually no increase in unconditional correlation coefficients (i.e., no contagion) during the 1997 Asian crisis, 1994 Mexican devaluation, and 1987 U.S. market crash.
