OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Particle systems and systemic risk
Systemic risk in the banking system is the risk that small losses and defaults can escalate through endogenous effects to cause an event affecting large parts of the financial sector. We will consider some simple particle system models for the interactions between banks and show how this leads to stochastic McKean-Vlasov equations describing the whole system. The systemic risk can be captured through a loss function and we will show that this can have unexpected behaviour in different models.
