Financial economics for capital markets

Financial economics explains how prices, risk premia and balance sheets turn shocks into market moves. In capital markets it is used to decompose yields and spreads, to model how leverage and margin amplify selling, and to trace how stress in one asset class reaches others, with each estimate’s assumptions and label stated.

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 capital markets and investment and financial stability, 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.

Yield curve and spread decomposition

Government yields are split into expected short rates and term premia with affine term structure models, and credit spreads into expected loss and risk premia, so a repricing can be read by its source.

Leverage and fire-sale channels

Balance sheet models trace how a price fall raises margins and haircuts, forces sales by leveraged holders and pushes prices further, with the behavioural assumptions written down.

Market-based systemic risk measures

Measures such as conditional value at risk and marginal expected shortfall describe which institutions contribute most to system-wide stress, reported as estimates with their sample periods.

03Exposure, loss and capital

What financial economics for capital markets 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.

Financial economics for capital markets: PRISMA 2020 review reporting

PRISMA 2020 is a reporting guideline for systematic reviews; the steps follow its checklist, not a mandated sequence, and no Nexus document adopts it.

  1. 01 Plan

    1. 01Registration and protocolRecord · The review teamThe guideline asks for registration details, access to the protocol and any amendments.
    2. 02Eligibility criteriaRecord · The review teamThe guideline asks for the inclusion and exclusion criteria and how studies were grouped.

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
Out-of-sample stress testingModels are fitted on one period and tested on stress episodes not used in estimation
Specification comparisonTerm premium and spread decompositions are compared across model specifications and the range is reported
Reconciliation with supervisory dataMarket-based estimates are compared with published supervisory aggregates where they exist

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