The Securitization Flash Flood
What caused the flood of securitized products in the years immediately preceding the crisis? This paper presents evidence that demand for safe collateral in repo markets made it attractive for financial institutions to issue securitized products. Using the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) as a natural experiment that shocked the demand for collateral, this p...
متن کاملFlash flood and sediment modeling with TREX
TREX is a physically-based, distributed model that simulates flash floods, sediment transport, and chemical transport and fate processes at the watershed scale. Basic processes in TREX include precipitation, interception, infiltration, surface runoff, and channel flow, erosion and deposition of upland soil and channel bed sediment, and chemical transport. TREX is readily coupled with standard G...
متن کاملA spatially distributed flash flood forecasting model
This paper presents a distributed model that is in operational use for forecasting flash floods in northern Austria. The main challenge in developing the model was parameter identification which was addressed by a modelling strategy that involved a model structure defined at the model element scale and multi-source model identification. The model represents runoff generation on a grid basis and...
متن کاملFlash flood awareness in southwest Virginia.
Flash floods are one of the most dangerous weather-related natural disasters in the world. These events develop less than six hours after a rainfall event and create hazardous situations for people and extensive damage to property. It is critical for flash flood conditions to be warned of in a timely manner to minimize impacts. There is currently a knowledge gap between flood experts and the ge...
متن کاملFlash Flood Forecasting: An Ingredients-Based Methodology
An approach to forecasting the potential for flash flood–producing storms is developed, using the notion of basic ingredients. Heavy precipitation is the result of sustained high rainfall rates. In turn, high rainfall rates involve the rapid ascent of air containing substantial water vapor and also depend on the precipitation efficiency. The duration of an event is associated with its speed of ...
