How does the shadow banking system factor into the current crisis? I don't see it discussed much. How much is moving through conduits, and not being accounted for? I know we get figures for notional value of global derivatives, but nobody claims those figures are all-inclusive. I haven't seen any economic theories/models incorporating "shadow" banking systems. The convention is: there's a banking system, not two parallel systems, one of which is unregulated, and "unofficial". If $10 or $20 trillion is moving in and among shadow banks, would we know? Is it being factored in? Currently there are many unknowns; shadow banking is just one more. Nobody likes conspiracy theories and unprovable "magic" explanations; still, I can't shake the idea that shadow banking may be more important than realized.
