Working Paper No. 11-45 on the Network Topology of Variance Decompositions: Measuring the Connectedness of Financial Firms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose several connectedness measures built from pieces of variance decompositions, and we argue that they provide natural and insightful measures of connectedness among financial asset returns and volatilities. We also show that variance decompositions define weighted, directed networks, so that our connectedness measures are intimately-related to key measures of connectedness used in the network literature. Building on these insights, we track both average and daily time-varying connectedness of major U.S. financial institutions’ stock return volatilities in recent years, including during the financial crisis of 2007-2008.

متن کاملA Stock Market Filtering Model Based on Minimum Spanning Tree in Financial Networks
There have been several efforts in the literature to extract as much information as possible from the financial networks. Most of the research has been concerned about the hierarchical structures, clustering, topology and also the behavior of the market network; but not a notable work on the network filtration exists. This paper proposes a stock market filtering model using the correlation - ba...
متن کامل(Measuring System Entropy Generation in a Complex Economic Network (The Case of Iran
An economic system is comprised of different primary flows that can be captured in macroeconomic models with complex network relations. Theoretically and empirically in this system, weak substitution or complementarity of environmental materials, like energy and other production factors such as capital, is undeniable. This is an effective critique on neoclassical economics. In this paper, we vi...
