论文简介:

 

With an international dataset of credit default spreads as a credit risk measure, we propose a novel empirical framework to identify the structure of credit risk network across major financial institutions around the recent 2007-2008 global credit crisis. The findings directly shed light on credit risk transmission in a financial network and indirectly help find systemically important financial institutions from the perspective of interconnectedness. Specifically, we are able to identify three groups of players including primary senders, exchange centers and prime receivers of credit risk information on the credit market. Further analysis shows that leverage ratios and certain aspect of corporate governance (i.e., CEO duality) may be significant determinants of identified different roles of financial institutions in credit risk transfer, while no such evidence is found for other factors including size, liquidity and asset write-down.
