Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.39 Financial Crises, Regulation, and Systemic Risk skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A crisis review finds that high leverage, short-term funding, common mortgage exposure, and weak resolution plans all made a shock spread beyond one firm. Which conclusion best fits the review?

ASystemic risk often comes from interacting vulnerabilities rather than one isolated mistake

BA single risky loan always explains an entire financial crisis

CRegulation is unrelated to funding and leverage

DDiversification by every firm always removes system-wide risk

Solution & Explanation:Financial crises usually involve reinforcing vulnerabilities: leverage magnifies losses, short-term funding can run, common exposures create correlation, and weak resolution plans raise spillover costs.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A payment network is reliable in normal times, but all member banks depend on the same backup provider. When the provider fails, settlement delays spread across the network. Which oversight concern is most relevant?

AA consumer price index substitution bias

BA household opportunity-cost calculation

CA tariff reducing foreign competition

DThird-party concentration risk in financial infrastructure

Solution & Explanation:A shared service provider can become a single point of failure. Supervisors monitor third-party concentration because operational disruptions can spread through critical financial infrastructure.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the resolution-options table in the image. The goal is to keep critical operations running while converting some unsecured debt to equity and wiping out shareholders. Which option matches the goal?

ABail-in resolution

BBlanket bailout of all investors

CImmediate liquidation of every operating unit

DNo intervention while payment services stop

Solution & Explanation:A bail-in imposes losses on owners and certain creditors while recapitalizing critical operations. It differs from a blanket bailout because not all investors are protected.
