Abstract: 
Over the past decades, banks have significantly increased their cross-border asset positions. The ongoing crisis on international financial markets has raised the question whether this increase in cross-border activities has allowed banks to diversify risks and to what extent it has increased banks' exposure to systemic risks. In this contribution, we review the existing empirical evidence.
