| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The 2007-2009 financial crises showed that the price shock in the security market spread through the balance sheet of the banks of the entire financial system.The purpose of this research is to derive the optimal liquidity and capital ratios of the banks, which prevent the price shock in the security market from spreading the financial system.To this purpose, this research considers the banking system where banks are connected each other by investing securities and interbank market.
Incorporating a role of banks in providing depositors with the information-insensitive debt (Gorton (2010)) as a constraint on the banks, this research derives the liquidity and capital ratio of the banks which prevents the price shock of the security from spreading through the banking system.In particular, by characterizing the financial shock by its occurrence and severity, this research showed that the optimal balance sheet depends on the set of probability and severity of the financial crisis.
