“When the crisis came, the serious limitations of existing economic and financial models immediately became apparent. [...] As a policy-maker during the crisis, I found the available models of limited help. In fact, I would go further: in the face of the crisis, we felt abandoned by conventional tools.”
in a Speech by Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank, Frankfurt, 18 November 2010

Data tsunami
• Digital information is doubling every 1.2 years -> Big Data, Open Data, Data Science, ‘Chief Algorithms Officers’…
• Regulatory response to recent financial crisis was to strengthen macro-prudential supervision with mandates for more regulatory data
• The challenge will be to understand and analyze the data
• Analytics based decision-making, i.e. the application of computer technology, operational research,and statistics to support decision making

Intelligence Amplification
• Technology, products and practices change constantly
• Data is not clean, actions are not ‘rational’
• Algorithms don’t fare well in periods of abrupt change
• Algorithms do not think outside the box
• A solution is to augment human intelligence
• Intelligence Amplification vs Artificial Intelligence

What is a/the financial network?
![Page 13: Financial Network Analytics @ Liverpool University](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c6a4364a7959e4208b4571/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Main premise of network analysis: Structure of links between nodes matters
• The properties and behavior of a node cannot be analyzed on the basis its own properties and behavior alone.
• To understand the behavior of one node, one must analyze the behavior of nodes that may be several links apart in the network.
• Bottom up approach. Generalize and describe.
• Financial contexts– Trading networks, payment networks– Networks of interconnected balance sheets– Networks of asset dependencies

Central theme: Centrality
• Degree: number of links
• Closeness: distance to other nodes via shortest paths
• Betweenness: number of shortest paths going through the node
• Eigenvector: nodes that are linked by/toother important nodes are more central

Centrality depends on network process
