“When the crisis came, the serious limitations of existing economic and financial models immediately became apparent. [...] As a policy-maker during the crisis, I found the available models of limited help. In fact, I would go further: in the face of the crisis, we felt abandoned by conventional tools.”

in a Speech by Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank, Frankfurt, 18 November 2010

Fedwire payment network• Total of ~8000 banks

• 66 banks comprise 75% of value

• 25 banks completely connected

• Scale-free degree distribution

• Similar to other socio-technological networks

Financial and geographic maps

Similarities • Are visualizations of multivariate data• Have global and local views• Alter and aid decision making

Differences - Financial Maps:• Relationships are not spatial• Change faster than tectonic plates

Systemic risk ≠ systematic risk

• The risk of disruption to a financial entity with spillovers to the real economy

• Risk of a crisis that stresses key intermediation markets and leads to their breakdown, which impacts the broader economy and requires government intervention

• Risk that critical nodes of a financial network cease to function as designed, disrupting linkages

-> some chain of events that starts or gets magnified in the finance sector and makes us all worse off

Background

• Regulatory response to recent financial crisis was to strengthen macro-prudential supervision with mandates for more regulatory data.

• The challenge now is to understand and utilize the data

• Analytics based policy and regulation, i.e. the application of computer technology, operations research,and statistics to support decision making

• The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) consolidated banking sector statistics (item 9D), http://www.bis.org/statistics/consstats.htm

• Data on banks' on-balance sheet financial claims by country • Provide a measure of the risk exposures of lenders' national

banking systems.• Only countries reporting both exposures from and to are

included

Centrality

• Degree: number of links

• Closeness: distance to other nodes via shortest paths

• Betweenness: number of shortest paths going through the node

• Eigenvector: nodes that are linked by/toother important nodes are more central

• Network layout

• Node size scales with PageRank

• Link width scales with value of exposure

Intelligence Amplification• A solution is to augment human

intelligence • Intelligence Amplification vs

Artificial Intelligence

William Ross Ashby (1956) in ‘Introduction to Cybernetics’

• Technology, products and practices change constantly, market knowledge is essential

• Algorithms don’t fare well in periods of abrupt change, algorithms do not think outside the box

• Data reduction

Game of Go (from China).

Computer programs only get to human amateur level due to good pattern recognition capabilities needed in the game.

Main premise of network theory: Structure of links between nodes matters

• The properties and behavior of a node cannot be analyzed on the basis its own properties and behavior alone.

• To understand the behavior of one node, one must analyze the behavior of nodes that may be several links apart in the network.

• Financial contexts– Trading networks, payment networks, exposure networks– Networks of interconnected balance sheets– Networks of asset dependencies

• Topics: Centrality, Communities, Layouts, Spreading and generation processes, Path finding, etc.
