We investigate differences in the activities of banks of different sizes and the evolution of their connectivity structure over the maintenance period. The main purpose of the analysis is to establish the potential implications of the current institutional arrangements on the stability of the banking system and to assess the efficiency of the interbank market in terms of absence of speculative and preferential trading relationships. publisher: Elsevier date: 2008 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Iori, Giulia and De Masi, Giulia and Precup, Ovidiu Vasile and Gabbi, Giampaolo and Caldarelli, Guido A network analysis of the Italian overnight money market.
