1 Modeling General-Equilibrium Macroeconomic Stress Scenarios in MATLAB Jaromír Beneš International Monetary Fund MATLAB Computational Finance Conference May 2015

2 Macroprudential Policy Is What? Narrow versus broader scope Broad policy objectives Minimize incidence of balance sheet crises Limit disruptions to key financial services Key elements in macroprudential analysis Tail-risk distress scenarios Feedback between balance sheets and real economy Possibility of severe nonlinearities Models to support macroprudential policy 2

3 Plan of Presentation Policymaking Perspective Modeling Perspective Simulation Experiment Programming Perspective 3

4 POLICYMAKING PERSPECTIVE 4

5 Macroprudential Policy Exercise Assess risks Design macro(- economic/- financial) stress scenario(s) Slow- burn (low- frequency) shocks and risks Unlikely yet plausible scenarios with large impact Evaluate impact of scenario(s) Resilience of sectoral balance sheets Feedback between financial and real sectors Communicate with policy makers Consider possible policy responses Communicate to public Regular Financial Stability Reports 5

6 General Equilibrium Model Framework Empirical estimates (PD, LGD, EAD, etc) CCA Real economy and monetary policy analysis Structural models Spreadsheet scenarios Financial stability analysis Time series analysis Sectoral analysis 6

7 Role of General Equilibrium Models Integrate all pieces of information Balance sheet consistency across sectors and time Facilitate internal communication (explicit assumptions, most critical assumptions) Make process accountable Make external communication transparent, credible Model-based scenario analysis, not accurate probabilistic predictions 7

8 Limitations Fundamental uncertainty Nonlinear feedback Corridor stability Estimation and backtesting difficult in crisis modeling Distress episodes are few and far apart Each has a different cause Need to evaluate international evidence è Common variety of macro models not well-suited 8
