Systemic Risk with Multi-Channel Risk Contagion in the Interbank Market

Abstract

The systematicness of banks is an important driver of financial crisis. Overlapping portfolios and assets correlation of banks’ investment are important reasons for systemic risk contagion. The existing systemic risk models are all analyzed from one aspect and cannot reflect the real situation of the banking system. In the present paper, considering the overlapping portfolios and assets correlation, a contagion network model with multi-channel risk is proposed, which is with interbank lending (direct contagion channel), overlapping portfolios (indirect contagion channel), and assets correlation (indirect contagion channel). In addition, the model takes investment risk as an impact factor and learns the operation rules of the banking system to help banks compensate for liquidity through asset depreciation. Based on the proposed model, the effects of assets correlation, assets diversity, assets investment strategy, interbank network structure, and the impact of market density on risk contagion are studied and analyzed quantitatively. The method in this paper can more truly reflect the banking system risk than the existing model. This paper provides a solution for quantitative analysis of systemic risk, which provides powerful tools for macroprudential stress testing and a reference for regulatory authorities to prevent systemic risk.

Addressing Heavy Metal Pollution in Nigeria: Evaluating Policies, Assessing Impacts, and Enhancing Remediation Strategies

“…Engaging local communities in cleanup efforts and decision-making processes is crucial to address their needs, and concerns, and promote sustainable development in the face of environmental challenges. Transitioning to the specific issue of heavy metal pollution, Wang et al (2023) stress the significance of community awareness regarding the risks associated with heavy metal contamination in meat products. Community engagement becomes a powerful tool to educate individuals about potential health effects and the importance of safe food consumption practices.…”

Investigating the monetary policy risk channel based on the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model: Empirical evidence from Iran

“…Despite the risk channel, the expansionary monetary policy leads to an increase in banks' risk-taking and the supply of risky loans. As a result of these conditions, the strength of the banking system is endangered and the financial system may face instability [45,46]. The growth of real economic activities depends on financing investment projects.…”
