Exponential Estimates for Contagion in Financial Networks

Abstract
In financial systems contagion occurs when the default of institutions affected by a random shock triggers a domino effect, leading to defaults of other institutions within a given set. We provide a sufficient and necessary condition for weak contagion using exponential estimates for contagion and default probabilities resulting from Sub-Gaussian shocks.
