Brexit May Have Cost Banks $165 Billion

NYU-Stern model tests the world’s largest financial institutions by asking the stock market what it thinks about the value and riskiness of the banks’ assets. Then it uses that information to estimate what would happen to the banks in a severe crisis and how much added equity capital they would need to avoid distress.
