Assess students' ability to analyze systemic risk propagation in interbank networks by examining how network topology (degree distribution, clustering, core–periphery), contagion mechanisms (default cascades, liquidity hoarding, fire sales), and policy interventions (capital buffers, lender-of-last-resort facilities, resolution regimes, network-targeted regulation) affect fragility and resilience; require interpretation of stylized network models, contagion simulations, stress scenarios, and critical evaluation of targeted versus macroprudential measures.
