We propose a spatial approach for modeling risk spillovers using financial time-varying proximity matrices based on … observable networks. We show how these methods could be useful in (i) isolating risk channels, risk spreaders and risk receivers …, (ii) investigating the role of portfolio composition in risk transfer, and (iii) computing target exposure structures able …

Through the lens of market participants' objective to minimize counterparty risk, we provide an explanation for the … of the benefits and potential pitfalls with respect to a single market participant's counterparty risk exposure when … elements can render central clearing harmful for a market participant's counterparty risk exposure regardless of the number of …

Through the lens of market participants' objective to minimize counterparty risk, we investigate central clearing in … derivatives markets, and its interaction with systematic risk, portfolio directionality, and loss sharing. Previous studies … suggest that central clearing always reduces counterparty risk for a sufficiently large number of clearing members. We show …

This paper studies the impact of financial sector size and leverage on business cycles and risk-free rates dynamics. We … model a general equilibrium productive economy where financial intermediaries provide costly risk mitigation to households … intermediaries' relative size, but may also mitigate the business cycle. Moreover, it makes risk-free rates pro-cyclical. Households …
