This paper considers the issue of "Too Connected to Fail" (TCTF) for a system of banks endogenously interconnected with both credit and insurance claims. The interbank credit network results from the circulation of banks' liabilities as a means of payment. By tracking their circulation, this...

Bank credit, as a means of payment, circulates in a circuit: It is first originated from the banking system, then used for trading, and eventually deposited back to the banking system. This circulation creates an interbank network that has been little studied. I characterize how this interbank...

We study the formation of networks in environments where agents derive benefits from other agents directly linked to them but suffer losses through contagion when any agent on a path connected to them is hit by a shock. We first consider networks with undirected links (e.g. epidemics,...

In this paper we review recent advances in financial economics in relation to the measurement of systemic risk. We start by reviewing studies that apply traditional measures of risk to financial institutions. However, the main focus of the review is on studies that use network analysis paying...
