Abstract
We develop a network-based probabilistic model to analyze systemic risk within a network of interconnected institutions. Harnessing the power of economic connections, we construct a weighted network that effectively captures the extent of direct risk spillovers. Then the risk contagion probabilistic model is constructed with the aid of the risk orbit contagion idea and inter-institutional dependencies. Our model examines contagion characteristics, uncertainty, and interdependence, revealing that neither a ring nor a complete financial network is optimal. We discover that the expected loss of the network does not have a monotonic relationship with the number of partners, depending on the trade-off between the network density and direct risk spillovers to mitigate systemic risk.
期刊介绍：
The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance (QREF) attracts and publishes high quality manuscripts that cover topics in the areas of economics, financial economics and finance. The subject matter may be theoretical, empirical or policy related. Emphasis is placed on quality, originality, clear arguments, persuasive evidence, intelligent analysis and clear writing. At least one Special Issue is published per year. These issues have guest editors, are devoted to a single theme and the papers have well known authors. In addition we pride ourselves in being able to provide three to four article "Focus" sections in most of our issues.
