This paper investigates a model of strategic interactions in financial networks, where the decision by one agent on whether or not to default impacts the incentives of other agents to escape default. Agents' payoffs are determined by the clearing mechanism introduced in the seminal contribution...

This study identifies and quantifies the contribution of the listed financial institutions to systemic risk in the UK. A financial network is constructed based on conditional Value at Risk (CoVar), to show the interdependence between the financial institutions' tail risk. The spillover effects...

China’s banking system has seen increasing convergence in exposures to different asset types. These concentrated commonalities have far reaching implications on systemic financial risk. Based on the commonality structure of banks’ balance sheets, we construct a bipartite financial network...

We estimate the contribution of large U.S, banks to the financial sector systemic risk by using value-at-risk (VaR ), conditional value-at-risk (CoV aR ), and two-stage least square (2SLS) methodology, Our sample is the monthly stock returns of 25 large U.S, banks from 1997 to 2021, We find that...
