OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.
