Financial economics for banking risk

Financial economics and macro-finance explain how bank balance sheets, credit and asset prices interact with output, employment and public finances. In banking risk they connect a scenario to losses and capital, show how bank stress feeds back into the economy, and ground macroprudential and monetary decisions in tested relationships.

What financial economics and macro-finance does here.

Financial economics and macro-finance study how asset prices, credit and financial institutions interact with the real economy. They explain how shocks are amplified or absorbed through balance sheets and markets. In financial stability, capital markets and investment and climate and hazards, financial economics traces how physical, health or cyber shocks transmit to credit, sovereign debt and markets. It informs macroprudential policy and the pricing of risk. The canonical description is on the STEM Commons.

Macro-financial stress scenarios

Scenario variables such as unemployment, interest rates and property prices are translated into default rates, loss rates and income for each portfolio, then into capital paths under the supervisor’s or the bank’s own assumptions.

Credit cycle and buffer calibration

Credit gaps, debt service ratios and lending survey responses are combined to judge the phase of the credit cycle and to inform countercyclical buffer and borrower-based measure settings.

Climate pathways to bank balance sheets

NGFS macroeconomic and carbon price pathways are mapped to sector revenues, costs and asset values, and then to borrower credit quality over long horizons.

05Exposure, loss and capital

What financial economics for banking risk means for exposure, loss and capital.

The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.

How results are checked.

Models are back-tested against historical market episodes and crises. Results are compared with supervisory data and alternative specifications.

Kontrol bikinHow it is done
Back-testing against past episodesSatellite models are tested on whether they reproduce losses observed in previous downturns
Alternative specificationsResults are compared across model forms and variable choices, and the spread is reported
Feedback effectsSecond-round effects from bank deleveraging to the economy are modelled, or their absence is stated
Independent benchmarkProjections are compared with supervisory or third-party results for the same scenario

Relationships estimated in calm periods may break down in stress. Hidden leverage and interconnections are often unobserved.
