If we want to understand financial stability risks, we clearly need a general model of run dynamics (trivially) a la Diamond and Dybvig. But the real challenge is to understand the specific ecology in which that run could take place. Chartbook #160 adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-16… https://t.co/N20kp7u8oZ
