The theoretical aspects of three generation of financial crisis’ models are analyzed. On the basis of retrospective analysis of these models are determined the main causes than make the economic misbalance more profound and than cause a crisis. Проаналізовано теоретичні...

This paper analyzes a regulator's optimal strategic delay of resolving banks when the regulator's announcement of the intervention delay endogenously affects the depositors' run-propensity. Given intervention, the regulator either liquidates the remaining illiquid assets, or continues managing...
