“…We empirically evaluate the new approach using large regulatory databases, maintained by the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) of the Bank of England, that include verified capital requirements for UK-incorporated deposit takers and investment firms and granular information on their bilateral exposures due to transactions in the fixed-income market, securities-financing market and derivatives market. These data are exemplary of the 'Big Data' now available to the Bank of England (Bholat 2013(Bholat , 2015(Bholat , 2016. The empirical simulations of the designed multichannel stabilisation strategies confirm their capability for containing contagion.…”

“…For example, Cheng Gao and Bruce Mizrach analyze 30 million stock quotes over a 20-year period from 1993 to 2013 (Gao and Mizrach 2016), an amount that would be dwarfed by the data generated today. Central banks and financial regulators, who relied on summary statements of financial positions in the past, are now beginning to analyze the characteristics of individual financial transactions and loans, requesting more granular data from market participants (Bholat 2015; Fitzgerald 2016).…”
