Abstract
In this contribution we propose a contagion model for bank loan portfolios that takes into account both a macroeconomic component and a firm-specific microeconomic component due to the counterparty risk. The macroeconomic effect is assumed dependent on a few economic factors while the microeconomic mechanism of propagation is due to the business relations, explicitly modeled through the client network. A wide Monte Carlo simulation analysis is carried out in order to study the main features of the model.
