Financial networks and default-driven shocks:
an application to banking systems
Francisco Hawas (*)Research Assistant
Mathematical Modeling CenterUniversidad de Chile
(*) Joint project with Arturo Cifuentes and Alejandro Jofré
Motivation
• Financial crisis (2007-2008)– Size of banks?– Number of banks?– Degree of Interconnections?• Direct• Indirect
• Regulatory and academic interest on the topic of financial networks
Overview
• Problems from the financial regulator viewpoint:– Liquidity risk
• Inability to pay, not necessary a balance sheet problem
– Solvency risk• Balance sheet problem
• This project will focus, initially, on the solvency aspects – Liquidity will be left for a second stage
Bank’s Balance sheet
Assets Liabilities
Cash, Ck
Loans to third parties, Lk
Loans to other banks, Bk
Deposits at CB, θ Dk
Investments, Ik
Deposits, Dk
Equity, Ek
Debt to CB, Фk
Debts to other banks, Hk
Model Overview
• Define balance sheet parameters:– , L, D, I, Ф, H, E, Θ
• Define interconnection parameters– β, ρ– Direct connections between banks• : percentage of bank’s debt that bank owns• ; : number of banks
– Indirect connections• : correlation through loans (L)
Bank 1
Bank N
Gaussian Copula [ε, ρ]
Loans to third parties
𝐿𝑡1=𝐿𝑡 −11 (1−𝜀𝑡1 )
Indirect connection
𝐿𝑡𝑁=𝐿𝑡− 1𝑁 (1−𝜀𝑡𝑁 )
Model Overview
• At time :– Simulate
• : default loss• Gaussian Copula• Uniform marginals
– Update
•
– If bank has , then defaults• goes out of the simulation• Update • Loop until
– Next period
Model Overview
𝜀1
𝐸1≤0?
𝜀2
Bank k such that will continue in the simulation
End point:1) All Banks have
defaulted2) End of simulation
time
𝐿1=𝐿0 (1−𝜀1 ) 𝐿2=𝐿1 (1−𝜀2 )
Example
• Parameters:– : 5%– : 30%– Θ: 0– Equity ratio: 10%– All balance sheets are the same
Number of Banks 20 40 60
Number of connections 2 10 16 4 20 32 6 30 48
Time to first default (Mean)
14 14 14 12 12 12 13 13 13
Example
• Parameters:– : 5%– : 30%– Θ: 0– Equity ratio: 8%-12%– All balance sheets are similar (Just Equity ratio differs)
Number of Banks 20 40 60
Number of connections 2 10 16 4 20 32 6 30 48
Time to first default (Mean)
14 12 14 10 12 10 12 13 12
Topics to investigate
• Influence of balance sheet structure– Leverage ratio
• Central Bank policy– Effect of Θ– Rescue loan policy
• Effects of number of banks– No diversification effects?
• Effects of number of connections– Selection of counterparty is random
Important questions to be answered
• Does diversification improve system resilience?• Is interconnection (degree of) harmful for the
financial system? • Importance of correlation at a fundamental level…
important?• Is the dynamics of correlation important? – Steady, peak, steady, relevant?
• What would be the effect of a run on a bank? Or the system? At which speed the system turn into unstable mode?
