"Methods for Financial Stability Analysis"

(MPI-SWS in Kooperation mit dem Fachbereich Informatik)

We present a number of methods used by central banks and regulatory authorities to assess the stability of the financial system, including stress tests, network analysis of the interbank market and models of interbank contagion and fire sales, aiming to capture the dynamics similar to those observed during the 2008 financial crisis. We will discuss the key role of banks in the money creation process, how this relates to monetary aggregates and what the introduction of central bank digital currencies and their different implementation options may mean in this context.
