Systemic risk and the financial network system: an experimental investigation

ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the economic agent behavior when managing a bank in order to avoid a failure when exposed with the financial systemic risk using a lab experiment. We use Chen et al.’s (Oper Res 64:1089–1108, 2016) model to construct the decision problem in the experiment. The model assumes that the systemic risk occurs through two channels: the liquidity channel and the network channel. The former occurs from the external investment shock which is endogenous in the balance sheet. The latter is a function of other banks’ clearing repayment; which is also caused by the external investment shock. Given these, there are two intuitive optimal strategies in order to avoid a failure: imposing a higher external investment interest than that of its risk and avoiding the financial interactio
