Using Weighted Shapley Values to Measure the Systemic Risk of Interconnected Banks

Abstract

AbstractA macro‐prudential approach to financial regulation should reasonably evaluate the systemic risk of individual institutions. We introduce a measure of the systemic risk of interconnected banks using the weighted Shapley value, which characterizes banks' systemic risk by capturing two characteristics: (i) a bank's risk exposure of the primitive asset structure; and (ii) its position in the interbank network. An empirical implementation reveals that the primitive asset structure and interbank connections are main drivers of each bank's systemic risk. In addition, different types of interbank linkages (debt or share) make significant differences in affecting an individual bank's systemic risk.
