Research interests

My main research interests are in the theory of banking. More specifically, my interest centres on the fragility of banks and banking systems. I am interested in systemic risk by investigating the spread of bank failures in complex networks of interbank loans, but also how banks interact with depositors and borrowers and how this affects systemic risk in banking systems. In order to capture the non-linear interactions in such banking systems, I frequently use agent-based models and assess the outcomes of models through computer simulations.

 

A secondary research interest is the modelling of non-market interactions between traders and how this affects asset prices. Modelling the interactions between traders through networks, I mainly use agent-based models and network theory to derive model results.
