reading reflection

Description

Based on the assigned readings, write a 3-page reflection on integrating behavioral finance and agent-based modeling (ABM) for your project.

My Project is:

Financial Stress Measures and Systemic Risk

Project Summary: This project integrates the analysis of financial stress indicators with systemic risk assessment under macroeconomic instability. Students will explore how financial and macroeconomic shocks, such as output drops, over-indebtedness, and inflationary pressures, can be monitored and mitigated through the development of composite financial stress indicators. These indicators will guide market dynamics and allow for a deep analysis of how behavioral economics and psychological biases influence financial decision-making. Leveraging insights from behavioral finance and ABM literature, students will construct behavioral models to predict agent behavior in various economic scenarios. These models will be enhanced with ABMs to simulate how individual decisions aggregate to impact overall financial stability and contribute to systemic risk, with a particular focus on network effects and financial contagion.

Key Concepts: S Composite stress indicators, borrower behavior, macroeconomic and financial shocks, systemic risk, financial contagion, behavioral economic models, ABM.

Tools: R/Python for indicator construction, financial metrics, and behavioral modeling; Matlab for statistical analysis; ABM simulations.
