| Περίληψη: | This paper analyzes portfolio diversification, leverage, and financial contagion. It studies the extent to which basic principles of portfolio diversification explain 'contagious selling' of financial assets when there are purely local shocks. The paper demonstrates that the elementary portfolio theory offers key insights into 'contagion.'
