  • Abstract
  • In this study we estimate different measures to understand how much systemic risk each bank brings to the Brazilian market and propose a bank run model that accounts for idiosyncratic probability of default of banks and a systemic risk process in which additional defaults occur through different channels of contagion. Through our approach, we estimate the loss distribution, the probability of default of the deposit insurance agency, and simulate the optimal capital adequacy ratio of the Brazilian banking system.
