The past decade has demonstrated an increased need to better understand risks leading to systemic crises. This framework offers scholars, practitioners and policymakers a useful toolbox to explore such risks in financial systems. Specifically, this framework provides popular econometric and network measures to monitor systemic risk and to measure the consequences of regulatory decisions. These systemic risk measures are based on the frameworks of Adrian and Brunnermeier (2016) <doi:10.1257/aer.20120555> and Billio, Getmansky, Lo and Pelizzon (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jfineco.2011.12.010>.

Analysis of risk through liability matrices. Contains a Gibbs sampler for network reconstruction,  where only row and column sums of the liabilities matrix as well as some other fixed entries are observed, following the methodology of Gandy&Veraart (2016) <doi:10.1287/mnsc.2016.2546>. It also incorporates models that use a power law distribution on the degree distribution.

Deals with Young tableaux (field of combinatorics). For standard
    Young tabeaux, performs enumeration, counting, random generation, the
    Robinson-Schensted correspondence, and conversion to and from paths on
    the Young lattice. Also performs enumeration and counting of 
    semistandard Young tableaux, enumeration of skew semistandard Young 
    tableaux, and computation of Kostka numbers.

Extracts sentiment and sentiment-derived plot arcs
    from text using a variety of sentiment dictionaries conveniently
    packaged for consumption by R users.  Implemented dictionaries include
    "syuzhet" (default) developed in the Nebraska Literary Lab
    "afinn" developed by Finn Årup Nielsen, "bing" developed by Minqing Hu
    and Bing Liu, and "nrc" developed by Mohammad, Saif M. and Turney, Peter D.
    Applicable references are available in README.md and in the documentation
    for the "get_sentiment" function.  The package also provides a hack for
    implementing Stanford's coreNLP sentiment parser. The package provides
    several methods for plot arc normalization.
