We explore the dynamics of default cascades in a network of credit interlinkages in which each agent is at the same time a borrower and a lender. When some counterparties of an agent default, the loss she experiences amounts to her total exposure to those counterparties. A possible conjecture in...

We develop a framework to analyse the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) market as a network of risk transfers among counter-parties. From a theoretical perspective, we introduce the notion of flow-of-risk and provide sufficient conditions for a bow-tie network architecture to endogenously emerge as a...

In this paper we analyze whether and how a central bank can pursue the objective to lower its exposure to climate-related financial risks in its asset purchase programs while meeting the criteria that define the eligible universe of assets, including market neutrality. Despite focusing on the...

Current approaches to manage the COVID-19 pandemic have a narrow focus on public health and on the short-term economic and financial repercussions. This prevents us to look at how pandemic risk interplays with sustainable and inclusive development goals in the next decade. To fill this gap, we...

While there is a broad understanding that the financial system can play a major enabling role in achieving the low-carbon transition, it is not well understood under which specific conditions such an orderly transition scenario when finance works as an enabler could occur. Even more importantly,...
