We measure a systemic risk faced by European banking sectors using the CoVaR measure. We propose the conditional value-at-risk (CoVaR) for measuring a spillover risk which demonstrates the bilateral relation between the tail risks of two financial institutions. The aim of the study is to...

In this paper we propose a measure of systemic risk in the financial sector, the expected systemic shortfall (ESS) indicator. The ESS-indicator is the product of the probability of a systemic default event and the expected tail loss in case this systemic event occurs. We compute the indicator...

In this paper we review existing statistical measures for systemic risk and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. Among them we discuss the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CoVaR) introduced by Adrian and Brunnermeier (2010) and the Systemic Expected Shortfall (SES) of Acharya, Pedersen, Philippon...

This paper describes the new European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) database that contains information about the macroprudential measures applied by the authorities in the Member States of the European Union and in two countries of the European Economic Area. The database currently covers mainly...

In this paper, we measure the systemic risk with a novel methodology, based on a “spatial-temporal” approach. We propose a new bank systemic risk measure to consider the two components of systemic risk: cross-sectional and time dimension. The aim is to highlight the “time-space dynamics”...
