Relative to the benchmark case of banks with homogeneous degrees and balance-sheet sizes, we find that if banks have a power law degree distribution the system becomes less robust with respect to the initial failure of a random bank, and that targeted shocks to the most specialized banks (i.e., banks with low degrees) or biggest banks increases the probability of observing a cascade of defaults. In contrast, we find that a power law degree distribution for assets increases stability with respect to random shocks, but not with respect to targeted shocks. We also study how allocations of capital buffers between banks affects the system\u2019s stability, and we find that assigning capital to banks in relation to their level of diversification reduces the probability of observing cascades of defaults relative to size-based allocations. Finally, we propose a non-capital-based policy that improves the resilience of the system by introducing disassortative mixing between banks and assets. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219525916500168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,10]],"date-time":"2017-02-10T02:24:38Z","timestamp":1486693478000},"page":"1650016","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["THE EFFECT OF HETEROGENEITY ON FINANCIAL CONTAGION DUE TO OVERLAPPING PORTFOLIOS"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0820-3489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"OPEOLUWA","family":"BANWO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"QASER Laboratory, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK"}]},{"given":"FABIO","family":"CACCIOLI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK"},{"name":"Systemic Risk Centre, London School of Economics and Political Sciences, London, UK"}]},{"given":"PAUL","family":"HARRALD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK"}]},{"given":"FRANCESCA","family":"MEDDA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"QASER Laboratory, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jebo.2012.04.006"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jedc.2012.03.005"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1213767109"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfs.2012.01.002"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jedc.2012.04.001"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.iref.2016.11.001"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14697680400020325"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s100510050582"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-012374258-2.50006-3"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2139\/ssrn.2379669"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2139\/ssrn.2388773"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB014","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0219525912500580"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB015","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbankfin.2014.05.021"},{"key":"S0219525916500168BIB016","author":"Cai J.","year":"2012","journal-title":"SSRN Electron.
