Abstract

This paper combines systemic contingent claims analysis with the conditional value-at-risk to construct a financial risk network, thereby providing a new method to measure the cross-risk of the banking sector among different countries. We apply this to a sample of listed banks in the European Union over the period 2007–2018. And we find that systemic risk is caused by the inherent and cross- risk. Cross- risk among countries is the dominant factor affecting systemic risk during the crisis period. In addition, the influence mechanism of risk network on the cross-risk exhibits asymmetry and displays the characteristic of “robust-yet-fragile”.
