Dr. Tellez-Leon is working on several multidisciplinary projects. Her main project in IIASA is Network-Based Modeling and Big Data as part of the IIASA Cross-Cutting Project. Her research is innovative, as she combines the analysis of Networks with Econometric Models. This analysis is applied to the Mexican repo market. Dr. Tellez-Leon explores the structural properties of the connection with the repo market, in order to find out what their impact is on the Mexicans spreads. Namely, in all repos operations, there are other counterparts besides banks, so it is very important to know if their centrality in the interbank market also impacts on the credit conditions with other intermediaries. This research contributes to the analysis of Systemic Risk in pro of the Mexican Financial Stability. Additionally, this research has a very interesting contribution to the state of scientific art with light in the better modeling through Networks and Econometrics.
