About the subprime crisis

Giorgio Szego

BANCARIA, 2009, vol. 7, 56-68

Abstract: Causes of the current financial crisis are heterogeneous and a complete analysis of the event must consider different profiles, like the limits of the supervisory model, the choice in the definition of the capital requirements and the role of the rating agencies. The unpredictability of the event makes interesting all studies of signals of future dynamics. Some interesting topics, like credit concentration, «teaser lending», the impact of illiquidity on the systemic risks and their relationship with bank dimension, must be studied and, after the first phase of small emergency intervention, the supervisory models must be rethought.
