RESILIENCE IN FINANCIAL NETWORKS

We investigate the resilience of financial networks against exogenous shocks, which can trigger primary and secondary defaults that propagate through the network in a cascading manner. To perform , these studies, I use tools from optimization theory and complex networks. Our work can be found in:
