Abstract

À la suite de la dernière crise financière sévère, plusieurs mesures de risque systémique ont été proposées pour quantifier l'état de stress du système financier. Dans cet article, nous proposons un indice agrégé de mesure de risque systémique financier basé sur une analyse en composantes principales dite « parcimonieuse ». Cette méthodologie permet d'obtenir un indice agrégé plus parcimonieux et plus stable dans le temps. L'application de la méthodologie à douze mesures de risque systémique global en utilisant des données des titres du marché financier américain confirme cette propriété. Il apparaît par ailleurs que les mouvements extrêmes positifs de l'indice de risque systémique ainsi construit peuvent être considérés comme des anticipations des périodes de forte contraction de l'activité économique. In the aftermath of the last severe financial crisis, several systemic risk measures have been proposed in the literature for quantifying financial system-wide distress. In this article, we propose an aggregated index for financial systemic risk measurement based on Sparse Principal Component Analysis. This methodology helps to obtain an index with more stable time dynamics. The results obtained using financial US market data confirm the temporal stability property. It appears, finally, that positive extreme movements of the proposed Index of Systemic Risk Measures are leading indicators of periods of sharp economic downturn.
