The current global financial system forms a highly interconnected network where a default in one of its nodes can propagate to many other nodes, causing a catastrophic avalanche effect. In this letter we consider the problem of reducing the financial contagion by introducing some targeted interventions that can mitigate the cascaded failure effects. We consider a multi-step dynamic model of clearing payments and introduce an external control term that represents corrective cash injections made by a ruling authority. The proposed control model can be cast and efficiently solved as a linear program. We show via numerical examples that the proposed approach can significantly reduce the default propagation by applying small targeted cash injections.

Abstract
The current global financial system forms a highly interconnected network where a default in one of its nodes can propagate to many other nodes, causing a catastrophic avalanche effect. In this letter we consider the problem of reducing the financial contagion by introducing some targeted interventions that can mitigate the cascaded failure effects. We consider a multi-step dynamic model of clearing payments and introduce an external control term that represents corrective cash injections made by a ruling authority. The proposed control model can be cast and efficiently solved as a linear program. We show via numerical examples that the proposed approach can significantly reduce the default propagation by applying small targeted cash injections.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
