63 Cenral Clearing Symmeric Nework (coninued) X = (X 1,,X N ) is again Gaussian. Assuming X0 i = x 0, i = 1,,N, a edious compuaion gives IE(X ) i = x 0 and he marginal variances for i 2: s 2 i = σ 2 (1 ρ 2 )(1 1 ( ) 1 e 2a N ) + σ (ρ ) ρ2 2a N + 2σρ N [σ 1ρ 1 σρ] + O( 1 N 2 ), which shows ha he sign of [σ 1 ρ 1 σρ] decides which nework is more risky (a leas a he order 1/N).
