Early warning of systemic risk in global banking: eigen-pair R number for financial contagion and market price-based methods. (English) Zbl 1532.91132

Ann. Oper. Res. 330, No. 1-2, 691-729 (2023); correction ibid. 30, No. 1-2, 841 (2023).
Summary: We analyse systemic risk in the core global banking system using a new network-based spectral eigen-pair method, which treats network failure as a dynamical system stability problem. This is compared with market price-based systemic risk indexes (SRIs), viz. marginal expected shortfall (MES), delta conditional value-at-risk (Delta-CoVaR), and conditional capital shortfall measure of systemic risk (SRISK) in a cross-border setting. Unlike paradoxical market price based risk measures, which underestimate risk during periods of asset price booms, the eigen-pair method based on bilateral balance sheet data gives early-warning of instability in terms of the tipping point that is analogous to the R number in epidemic models. For this regulatory capital thresholds are used. Furthermore, network centrality measures identify systemically important and vulnerable banking systems. Market price-based SRIs are contemporaneous with the crisis and they are found to covary with risk measures like VaR and betas.
