This presentation describes a new framework using contingent claims analysis (CCA) to estimate potential bank losses (in the event of distress) and the magnitude of implicit government guarantees. Equity market, CDS, and balance sheet data are used to estimate CCA models for key banks and “Systemic CCA”, based on extreme value theory, it used to estimate the multivariate dependence structure between banks, and to quantify the contribution of banks to government contingent liabilities and systemic tail-risk.. It draws on a new paper co-authored with Andy Jobst, as well as the recently published book, Macrofinancial Risk Analysis (D. Gray and S. Malone), and his joint work with Robert Merton.
