Artificial intelligence applied to bailout decisions in financial systemic risk management
We describe the bailout of banks by governments as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) where the actions are equity investments. The underlying dynamics is derived from the network of financial institutions linked by mutual exposures, and the negative rewards are associated to the banks' default. Each node represents a bank and is associated to a probability of default per unit time (PD) that depends on its capital and is increased by the default of neighbouring nodes. Governments can control the systemic risk of the network by providing additional capital to the banks, lowering their PD at the expense of an increased exposure in case of their failure. Considering the network of European global systemically important institutions, we find the optimal investment policy that solves the MDP, providing direct indications to governments and regulators on the best way of action to limit the effects of financial crises.

Optimal Systemic Risk Bailout: A PGO Approach Based on Neural Network
The bailout strategy is crucial to cushion the massive loss caused by systemic risk in the financial system. There is no closed-form formulation of the optimal bailout problem, making solving it difficult. In this paper,…
ManagementOptimal macroprudential policy with preemptive bailouts
I study the optimal regulation of a financial sector where individual banks face self-enforcing constraints countering their default incentives. The constrained-efficient social planner can improve over the unregulated e…
Optimal Bailouts in Diversified Financial Networks
Widespread default involves substantial deadweight costs which could be countered by injecting capital into failing firms. Injections have positive spillovers that can trigger a repayment cascade. But which firms should …
