  • Network Risk and Key Players: a Structural Analysis of Interbank Liquidity∗
    Network Risk and Key Players: A Structural Analysis of Interbank Liquidity∗ Edward Denbee Christian Julliard Ye Li Kathy Yuan June 4, 2018 Abstract We estimate the liquidity multiplier and individual banks' contribution to systemic liquidity risk in an interbank network using a structural model. Banks borrow liquid- ity from neighbours and update their valuation based on neighbours' actions. When the former (latter) motive dominates, the equilibrium exhibits strategic substitution (complementarity) of liquidity holdings, and a reduced (increased) liquidity multi- plier dampening (amplifying) shocks. Empirically, we find substantial and procyclical network-generated risks driven mostly by changes of equilibrium type rather than net- work topology. We identify the banks that generate most systemic risk and solve the planner's problem, providing guidance to macro-prudential policies.

  • Mckinsey on Payments
    Volume 8, Number 21 May 2015 McKinsey on Payments Foreword 1 Gauging the disruptive potential of digital wallets 3 While they have established a solid foundation for growth, digital wallets are by no means a guaranteed success. They must continue to evolve if they are to have a truly disruptive impact on the payments landscape. Providers can improve their chances by focusing on six “markers” for success in payments innovation. New partnership models in transaction banking 11 A number of trends are leading to a fundamental rethinking of the traditional model by which banks offer transaction banking services to clients outside their established markets. Four distinct partnership models offer the best opportunities for banks seeking to succeed in an evolving landscape. Toward an Internet of Value: An interview with Chris Larsen, 19 CEO of Ripple Labs McKinsey on Payments sits down with the co-founder of Ripple Labs to discuss the nuts and bolts of the Ripple protocol, the implications for the correspondent banking model, and the emergence of an “Internet of Value.” Faster payments: Building a business, not just an infrastructure 23 A faster payments infrastructure is not an end in itself, it is an opportunity for banks to deliver innovative products and services in both consumer and corporate payments. To monetize this opportunity, financial institutions should focus relentlessly on design, customer experience, accessibility and convenience. Faster payments: Building a business, not just an infrastructure 23 Faster payments: Building a business, not just an infrastructure To date, most discussions about building a “faster payments” system have focused primarily on speed and “plumbing.” Even more important, however, are the innovative products and services that an enhanced infrastructure will allow financial institutions to bring to market.
