ABSTRACT
In this paper, we simulate and analyze the impact of financial regulations concerning the collateralization of derivative trades on systemic risk. We represent a financial system using a weighted directed graph model. We enhance a novel open source risk engine to automatically classify a financial regulation for its impact on systemic risk. The analysis finds that introducing collateralization does reduce the costs of resolving a financial system in crisis. It does not, however, change the distribution of risk in the system. The analysis also highlights the importance of scenario based testing using hands on metrics to quantify the notion of system risk.

Systemic Risk-Driven Portfolio Selection
How can we construct portfolios that perform well in the face of systemic events? The global financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic have highlighted the importance of accounting for extreme form of risks. In “Systemic Risk-...
We consider an investor who trades off tail risk and expected growth of the investment. We measure tail risk through the portfolio’s expected losses conditioned on the occurrence of a systemic event: financial market loss being exactly at, or at least at, ...
Agent-Based Models of the Corporate Bond Market
DSMM'16: Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Data Science for Macro-ModelingThe paper presents an agent-based modeling approach for the analysis of liquidity in corporate bond markets. Bond market liquidity is hard to measure empirically and its evolution is hard to predict due to its non-linear nature, with significant ...
