Measurement and Forecasting of Systemic Risk: A Vine Copula Grouped-CoES Approach.

Measuring systemic risk plays an important role in financial risk management to control systemic risk. By means of a vine copula grouped-CoES method, this paper aims to measure the systemic risk of Chinese financial markets. The empirical study indicates that the banking industry has a low risk and a strong ability to resist risks, but also contributes the most of the systemic risk. On the other hand, insurance companies and securities have high ES but low Δ CoES, indicating their low risk tolerance and small contribution to the systemic risk. Furthermore, this study employs a sliding window in Monte Carlo simulation to forecast systemic risk. The findings of this paper suggest that different types of financial industries should adopt different systemic risk measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
