Research Question: Systemic effects

  • f portfolio compression

Research Questions: Given a specific compression:

  • 1. When socially beneficial?
  • 2. Banks’ incentives to agree

to it? Conventional wisdom:

  • 1. always, 2. always

Results:

  • Conventional wisdom is wrong

β†’ Non-trivial trade-off: loss sharing vs. contagion

  • Sufficient conditions: Pareto improvement (bank balance sheets, network

structure)

  • Sufficient conditions: Incentivized compression (network structure)
