Physics of Polish banking system
On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers bank announced its bankruptcy.This started a panic on the US stock exchange and the subprimemortgage crisis that spread throughout the world. The consequences of these events are still visible today. How come a single event influenced banking systems on the other side of the globe? What is the concept of systemic risk? Is there a place for physics in the description of this phenomenon? Is Polish banking system safe? These and other questions will be addressed during the seminar.
