Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis consists of four chapters that focus on the development of new statistical frameworks or tests of financial market crisis and contagion. A new test for financial market contagion based on changes in the fourth order co-moments is proposed in chapter 2 to identify the propagation mechanism of shocks across international financial markets. The proposed approach captures changes in various aspects of the asset return relationships such as cross-market mean and skewness (co-kurtosis) as well as cross-market volatilities (co-volatility). In an empirical application involving the global financial crisis of 2008-09, the results show that significant contagion effects are widespread from the US banking sector to global equity markets and banking sectors through either the co-kurtosis or the co-volatility channel. Chapter 3 analyses nine financial crises from Asia in 1997-98 to the recent European debt crisis of 2010-13 to answer the question of whether the great recession is different to other crises in terms of a range of hypotheses regarding contagion transmission. This chapter examines financial contagion with a focus on the correlation and co-skewness change tests, and the proposed co-volatility change test in chapter 2 to capture changes in the various aspects of the asset return relationships. The empirical results indicate that the great recession and European debt crisis are truly global financial crises. Linkages through financial channels are more likely to result in crisis transmission than through trade, and crises beginning emerging markets transmit unexpectedly, particularly to developed markets. Chapter 4 introduces a new class of multiple-channel tests of financial market contagion in which the transmission channels of financial market crises are identified jointly through the correlation, co-skewness and co-kurtosis of the distribution of returns. The proposed tests yield the correct size in small samples which is typical of crisis periods. Regarding the power of the tests, the multiple-channel tests display the second highest power following the single-channel tests if the data generating process for an experiment contains the transmission channel of contagion consistent with the single-channel test. In an empirical application involving the three financial crises of 2007-12, the results show that the joint tests identify various combinations of transmission channels. Chapter 5 introduces new framework for testing for crisis and contagion using a regime switching skew-normal model (RSSN model). This new approach provides a more general framework for developing five types of crisis and contagion channels simultaneously. Measuring financial contagion within the RSSN model can solve several econometric problems. These are i) market dependence is fully captured by simultaneously considering both second and third order co-moments of asset returns; ii) transmission channels are simultaneously examined; iii) crisis and contagion are distinguished and individually modelled; iv) the market that a crisis originates is endogenous; and v) the timing of a crisis is endogenous. By applying the proposed model to equity markets during the great recession using Bayesian model comparison techniques, the results generally show that crisis and contagion are pervasive across Europe and the US through the second and third moment channels during the great recession.
Book Synopsis Transmission of Financial Crises and Contagion: by : Mardi Dungey
Download or read book Transmission of Financial Crises and Contagion: written by Mardi Dungey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-07 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial crises often transmit across geographical borders and different asset classes. Modeling these interactions is empirically challenging, and many of the proposed methods give different results when applied to the same data sets. In this book the authors set out their work on a general framework for modeling the transmission of financial crises using latent factor models. They show how their framework encompasses a number of other empirical contagion models and why the results between the models differ. The book builds a framework which begins from considering contagion in the bond markets during 1997-1998 across a number of countries, and culminates in a model which encompasses multiple assets across multiple countries through over a decade of crisis events from East Asia in 1997-1998 to the sub prime crisis during 2008. Program code to support implementation of similar models is available.

This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of interconnectedness and contagion is an important part of the financial stability and risk assessment of a country’s financial system. This paper offers detailed and practical guidance on how to conduct a comprehensive analysis of interconnectedness and contagion for a country’s financial system under various circumstances. We survey current approaches at the IMF for analyzing interconnectedness within the interbank, cross-sector and cross-border dimensions through an overview and examples of the data and methodologies used in the Financial Sector Assessment Program. Finally, this paper offers practical advice on how to interpret results and discusses potential financial stability policy recommendations that can be drawn from this type of in-depth analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No sooner had the Asian crisis broken out in 1997 than the witch-hunt started. With great indignation every Asian economy pointed fingers. They were innocent bystanders. The fundamental reason for the crisis was this or that - most prominently contagion - but also the decline in exports of the new commodities (high-tech goods), the steep rise of the dollar, speculators, etc. The prominent question, of course, is whether contagion could really have been the key factor and, if so, what are the channels and mechanisms through which it operated in such a powerful manner. The question is obvious because until 1997, Asia's economies were generally believed to be immensely successful, stable and well managed. This question is of great importance not only in understanding just what happened, but also in shaping policies. In a world of pure contagion, i.e. when innocent bystanders are caught up and trampled by events not of their making and when consequences go far beyond ordinary international shocks, countries will need to look for better protective policies in the future. In such a world, the international financial system will need to change in order to offer better preventive and reactive policy measures to help avoid, or at least contain, financial crises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the paper, we propose a new methodology to test and date the financial contagion. The newly proposed multivariate model not only incorporates endogenous structural breaks but also encompasses a "mixed" version of state-space model. It provides a "direct" test for the presence of contagion while controlling three types of bias, namely, heteroskedasticity, endogeneity and omitted variables. In contrast to the correlation-based test available in the literature, our test is direct by literally inspecting "the change of cross-market dependence". Contrast to the traditional state-space model, we explore the possible relationship among observable and latent factors. In addition, in stead of using exogenously specified turmoil periods, we endogeneously pin down the break points. Finally, the number of latent variables and the number of break points are also endogenously selected by a model comparison procedure. We illustrate the proposed methodology by analyzing the stock market collapses in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and South Korea during 1997 and early 1998. The empirical study suggests three structural breaks occurred on 6/11/97, 10/15/97 and 11/12/98, respectively. The first two breaks are further shown to exhibit financial contagion. The conclusion of the existence of contagion is robust under various model specifications.

Book Synopsis Financial Market Contagion in the Asian Crisis by : Mr.Taimur Baig
Download or read book Financial Market Contagion in the Asian Crisis written by Mr.Taimur Baig and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-11-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper tests for evidence of contagion between the financial markets of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, and the Philippines. Cross-country correlations among currencies and sovereign spreads are found to increase significantly during the crisis period, whereas the equity market correlations offer mixed evidence. A set of dummy variables using daily news is constructed to capture the impact of own-country and cross-border news on the markets. After controlling for own-country news and other fundamentals, the paper shows evidence of cross-border contagion in the currency and equity markets.

This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the literature on financial crises focusing on three specific aspects. First, what are the main factors explaining financial crises? Since many theories on the sources of financial crises highlight the importance of sharp fluctuations in asset and credit markets, the paper briefly reviews theoretical and empirical studies on developments in these markets around financial crises. Second, what are the major types of financial crises? The paper focuses on the main theoretical and empirical explanations of four types of financial crises—currency crises, sudden stops, debt crises, and banking crises—and presents a survey of the literature that attempts to identify these episodes. Third, what are the real and financial sector implications of crises? The paper briefly reviews the short- and medium-run implications of crises for the real economy and financial sector. It concludes with a summary of the main lessons from the literature and future research directions.

Book excerpt: Regarding the asymmetric and leptokurtic behavior of financial data, we propose a new contagion test in the quantile regression framework that is robust to model misspecification. Unlike conventional correlation-based tests, the proposed quantile contagion test allows us to investigate the stock market contagion at various quantiles, not only at the mean. We show that the quantile contagion test can detect a contagion effect that is possibly ignored by correlation-based tests. A wide range of simulation studies show that the proposed test is superior to the correlation-based tests in terms of size and power. We compare our test with correlation-based tests using three real data sets: the 1994 Tequila crisis, the 1997 Asia crisis, and the 2001 Argentina crisis. Empirical results show substantial differences between two types of tests.

This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a novel approach to investigate and model the network of euro area banks’ large exposures within the global banking system. Drawing on a unique dataset, the paper documents the degree of interconnectedness and systemic risk of the euro area banking system based on bilateral linkages. We develop a Contagion Mapping model fully calibrated with bank-level data to study the contagion potential of an exogenous shock via credit and funding risks. We find that tipping points shifting the euro area banking system from a less vulnerable state to a highly vulnerable state are a non-linear function of the combination of network structures and bank-specific characteristics.
Book Synopsis Extremal Dependence Tests for Contagion by : Renee Fry-McKibbin
Download or read book Extremal Dependence Tests for Contagion written by Renee Fry-McKibbin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new test for financial market contagion based on changes in extremal dependence defined as co-kurtosis and co-volatility is developed to identify the propagation mechanism of shocks across international financial markets. The proposed approach captures changes in various aspects of the asset return relationships such as cross-market mean and skewness (co-kurtosis) as well as cross-market volatilities (co-volatility). Monte Carlo experiments show that the tests perform well except for when crisis periods are short in duration. Small crisis sample critical values are calculated for use in this case. In an empirical application involving the global financial crisis of 2008-09, the results show that significant contagion effects are widespread from the US banking sector to global equity markets and banking sectors through either the co-kurtosis or the co-volatility channels, reinforcing that higher order moments matter during crises.

Download or read book Stress Testing at the IMF written by Mr.Tobias Adrian and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explains specifics of stress testing at the IMF. After a brief section on the evolution of stress tests at the IMF, the paper presents the key steps of an IMF staff stress test. They are followed by a discussion on how IMF staff uses stress tests results for policy advice. The paper concludes by identifying remaining challenges to make stress tests more useful for the monitoring of financial stability and an overview of IMF staff work program in that direction. Stress tests help assess the resilience of financial systems in IMF member countries and underpin policy advice to preserve or restore financial stability. This assessment and advice are mainly provided through the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP). IMF staff also provide technical assistance in stress testing to many its member countries. An IMF macroprudential stress test is a methodology to assess financial vulnerabilities that can trigger systemic risk and the need of systemwide mitigating measures. The definition of systemic risk as used by the IMF is relevant to understanding the role of its stress tests as tools for financial surveillance and the IMF’s current work program. IMF stress tests primarily apply to depository intermediaries, and, systemically important banks.

Download or read book A New Approach to Measuring Financial Contagion written by Kee-Hong Bae and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes a new approach to evaluate contagion in financial markets. Our measure of contagion captures the co-incidence of extreme return shocks across countries within a region and across regions that cannot be explained by linear propagation models of shocks. We characterize the extent of contagion, its economic significance, and its determinants using a multinomial logistic regression model. Applying our approach to daily returns of emerging markets during the 1990s, we find that contagion, when measured by the co-incidence within and across regions of extreme return shocks, is predictable and depends on regional interest rates, exchange rate changes, and conditional stock return volatility. Evidence that contagion is stronger for extreme negative returns than for extreme positive returns is mixed
