Systemic risk is the risk of a collapse of the entire financial system, typically triggered by the default of one, or more, large and interconnected financial institutions. In this paper we estimate the systemic risk contribution of each financial institution in a large sample of European banks....

Large and growing international financial linkages between East and West have altered the nature of the stability risks faced by European banking systems, increasing susceptibility to contagion. This paper aims to identify potential risks of cross-border contagion using a sample of large Western...

This study examines cost and profit efficiencies of banking sectors in the 27 European Union countries over the period 2004-2010 using the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). The study divides the EU sample into four sub-samples; the entire EU, the old and the new EU countries as well as the...

Measuring interconnectedness in a banking system and identifying the transmission channels of systemic risk is a main issue for the analysis of financial stability. We develop a methodology based on conditional tail risk networks to assess the channels of transmission in a banking system, and to...

The 2007-2009 financial crisis highlighted the vulnerabilities in the global banking system and shifted research focus to the study of systemic risk. Network theory and agent-based simulation have been used to investigate complex banking systems that would be difficult to model analytically....
