Current Research Programs

We build a theoretical framework to study banks decisions to borrow. lend and trade with other banks. We solve a planner's problem and a decentralized problem to study welfare. Two main insights are: (1) banks can use interbank loans to collude, (2) there are benefits fo having the same financial institutions providing loans and trading derivatives.
