This - in a nutshell - is the guiding question for my research. As a visiting researcher at De Nederlandsche Bank, I'm able to find answers to this crucial question with the help of detailed supervisory datasets. Since contagion is unobserved and inherently dynamic, I develop a new class of spatial state-space models (SpatialSSM) to extract policy-relevant signals of the network.
