Introduction 2
Systemic Risk
Systemic risk: Breakdown risk of the 鍖nancial system induced by
the interdependence of its constituents.
In crisis times, banks face
liquidity shortage, undercapitalisation;
leading to
鍖re-sales, hoarding;
 further enhanced by pro-cyclicality of capital
requirements.
Consequences of interdependence:
Spillovers of risks
Co-movements of losses
= Systemic risk network

Introduction 3
Network-based systemic risk assessment
Before the 鍖nancial crisis 20072009, systemic risk was neglected by
regulation authorities.
Hellwig (2009), p. 134:
Regulatory reform must [...] address the risks generated by [...]
interdependence and by the lack of transparency about systemic
risk exposure.
Need for a transparent measure for systemic risk that takes
interdependence (risk spillovers) into account.

Introduction 4
Here: VaR-Based Systemic Risk Contributions
Objective: Individual banks contributions to system tail risk: stress
test-type analysis given publicly available data
Time-varying Value at Risk (VaR) conditional on observations of V
Pr(Xt  qp,t(Xt)) = Pr(Xt  VaRp,t) = p,
where qp,t(Xt) = qp(Xt|V = Vt) is the pth cond. return quantile.
Estimation of a time-varying reduced form relation in quantiles
VaRs
q,t = gt(VaRi
p,t) = g(VaRi
p,t, Bt)
given control variables Bt and VaRi
p,t = VaRi
p(Wt).

Introduction 5
Our approach
Step 0 Selection of relevant tail risk drivers for each 鍖rm i:
LASSO for quantiles
other companies tail risk
macro environment
individual characteristics
Step 1 Estimation of VaRi : post-LASSO quantile regression
Step 2 Measuring each is time-varying contribution to
system risk: VaRs as function of VaRi
control variables: selected companies VaRj s
(from Step 0), macro environment
test of signi鍖cance of VaRi for VaRs

Introduction 6
Contribution
Identi鍖cation of tail risk cross-linkages between 鍖nancial
companies (Systemic risk network)
Estimation of and inference for two-stage quantile regression
model
Identi鍖cation of systemically relevant companies and
quanti鍖cation of systemic risk contributions

Case study 9
Pre-crisis case study
Excluding the 鍖nancial crisis time period, can we infer companies
developments from our method?
Repeat entire estimation and testing procedure using only
data until June 2007
Focus on companies that were a鍖ected by the crisis: AIG,
Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch
 Results are reasonable with respect to systemic riskiness and
tail risk dependencies.
Financial Network Systemic Risk Contributions
Conclusion 10
Conclusions
Transparent risk measure accounting for tail risk dependencies.
Approach provides complementing qualitative (tail risk
network) and quantitative (systemic risk ranking) information
on the U.S. 鍖nancial sector.
Although direct backtesting is not possible, plausibility checks
suggest that the method works.
Measure may be extended in several ways.
