Abstract:	The events of the global financial crisis of 2007–2009 have moved the issue of financial stability and its implications for the real economy to the center of attention of many researchers in economics and finance. Two financial-stability related research areas that have gained considerable attention after the crisis are financial shock propagation and amplification mechanisms, and the expectation formation rules of households and financial professionals. This dissertation contributes to these two research areas. It presents one paper that adopts a theoretical approach and applies methods from agent-based modeling to study how financial regulation affects the resilience of financial institutions. It presents two papers that adopt an empirical approach and exploit text and survey data, respectively, to study the determinants of the expectations of financial market participants.
