Abstract
We analyze the systemic risk of Italian banks with the ΔCoVaR from a bivariate normal GARCH model. The results show that it is a good measure of systemic risk and is applicable to the ranking of Italian other systemically important institutions. Using an elastic-net approach, we identify the balance sheet and market variables that explain the ΔCoVaR of Italian banks. The analysis confirms that these variables are key determinants of systemic importance and highlights how higher capitalization is beneficial to tackling systemic risk. And, we detect a connection between ΔCoVaR and some variables for trading and investment banking.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Financial Services Research publishes high quality empirical and theoretical research on the demand, supply, regulation, and pricing of financial services. Financial services are broadly defined to include banking, risk management, capital markets, mutual funds, insurance, venture capital, consumer and corporate finance, and the technologies used to produce, distribute, and regulate these services. Macro-financial policy issues, including comparative financial systems, the globalization of financial services, and the impact of these phenomena on economic growth and financial stability, are also within the JFSR’s scope of interest. The Journal seeks to promote research that enriches the profession’s understanding of financial services industries, to elevate industry and product efficiencies, as well as to inform the debate and promote the formulation of sound public policies.
