Identification of Critical Nodes and Links in Financial Networks with Intermediation and Electronic Transactions

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a network performance/efficiency measure for the evaluation of financial networks with intermediation. The measure captures risk, transaction cost, price, transaction flow, revenue, and demand information in the context of the decision-makers’ behavior in multitiered financial networks that also allow for electronic transactions. The measure is then utilized to define the importance of a financial network component, that is, a node or a link, or a combination of nodes and links. Numerical examples are provided in which the efficiency of the financial network is computed along with the importance ranking of the nodes and links. The results in this paper can be used to assess which nodes and links in financial networks are the most vulnerable in the sense that their removal will impact the efficiency of the network in the most significant way. Hence, the results in this paper have relevance to national security as well as implications for the insurance industry.

A 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 کاملOn the effect of low-quality node observation on learning over incremental adaptive networks
In this paper, we study the impact of low-quality node on the performance of incremental least mean square (ILMS) adaptive networks. Adaptive networks involve many nodes with adaptation and learning capabilities. Low-quality mode in the performance of a node in a practical sensor network is modeled by the observation of pure noise (its observation noise) that leads to an unreliable measurement....
متن کاملThe Evolution and Emergence of Integrated Social and Financial Networks with Electronic Transactions: A Dynamic Supernetwork Theory for the Modeling, Analysis, and Computation of Financial Flows and Relationship Levels
In this paper, we propose a rigorous dynamic supernetwork theory for the integration of social networks with financial networks with intermediation in the presence of electronic transactions. We consider decision-makers with sources of funds, financial intermediaries, as well as demand markets for the various financial products. Through a multilevel supernetwork framework consisting of the fina...

Money laundering is among the most common financial crimes that negatively affect countries' economies and hurt their social and political relations. With the increasing growth of e-banking and the increase in electronic financial transactions, the identification of money laundering methods and behaviors has become more complex; because money launderers, by accessing the Internet and using new ...
متن کاملBurt and Coleman Networks in Electronic Intermediation
Two predominant network forms, Burt and Coleman, are delineated to identify the underlying structure and dynamics of electronic intermediation models. Basic differentiating characteristics between the two network types, including nodes, structures, products, transactions, market maturity, and technology improvement, are identified. Two comparative cases are analyzed to illustrate the utility of...
