The recent crises and central counterparty risk practices in the light of procyclicality: empirical evidence
This paper focuses on the risk practices of Central Counterparties in the light of their potentially procyclical features.
Nonstationarity of the intraday individual and collective seasonalities of price fluctuations
This paper deals with statistical measures based on high frequency data from stock markets, and in particular looks at how these measures changed according to time, with a focus on before and after the crisis of 2008.

Stochastic loss given default and exposure at default in a structural model of portfolio credit risk
The authors develop a factor-type latent variable model for portfolio credit risk that accounts for stochastically dependent probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) at both the systematic and borrower specific…
How the interbank market becomes systemically dangerous: an agent-based network model of financial distress propagation
In this paper, the authors study the stability of the interbank market to exogenous shocks using an agent-based network framework.
Reputation risk contagion
The aim of this paper is to assess the effects of the reputation of the members of a group on any single member of the group using the concepts of social influence and convergence in belief.
