We consider two representative investors in a market holding different opinions about the public available information. The deleveraging shock forces the high confidence investors to liquidate their risky assets to pay back their …

Model explains deleveraging risks in non-custodial stablecoins.
Paper solves optimal portfolio deleveraging with cross asset impacts.
We develop a model of stable assets, including non-custodial stablecoins backed by cryptocurrencies. Such stablecoins are popular methods for bootstrapping price stability within public blockchain settings. We derive fundamental results about dynamics and liquidity in stablecoin markets, demonstrate that these markets …
Optimizes cryptocurrency exchanges' risk management by reducing positions based on leverage.
I sketch a program for a microeconomic theory of the main component of the business cycle as a recurring disequilibrium, driven by incompleteness of the financial market and by information asymmetries between borrowers and lenders.

The second is Basle II and the third is a hypothetical alternative in which banks perfectly hedge all of their leverage-in…
