  OUTLINE

  In strongly connected environments like financial networks, global supply chains or social networks, the diffusion and amplification of micro-level risks can lead to the emergence of macro-level events such as financial crisis or epidemic processes. The class will present mathematical models from complex systems theory, game theory and general equilibrium theory that can be used to capture these diffusion processes and their socio-economic consequences. We will focus on three main types of risk:

  • Epidemic risk

  • Climate-related risks

  • Financial risks.
