OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Bank-Runs, Contagion and Cedit Easing
We present a macroeconomic model of financial crises in which banks are subject to self-fulfilling runs. An individual bank is vulnerable to a run when a loss of investors’ confidence triggers deposit withdrawals and leads the bank to default on its obligations. We characterize how this vulnerability depends on its own leverage as well as macroeconomic fundamentals. We show that bank-runs can be contagious and spread out across the entire financial system. A key policy insight is that the effectiveness of credit easing depends critically on whether a financial crisis is driven by fundamentals or loss of confidence.
