Abstract

We review various costs and benefits of disclosure of stress test results and the models behind the tests and provide unified frameworks to evaluate the tradeoffs. We also review the evolution of practice on the disclosure of stress test results over the years and caution against the link between greater disclosure and weaker tests.
