Double-Layer Network Model of Bank-Enterprise Counterparty Credit Risk Contagion

Abstract

Banks and enterprises constitute a multilayered, multiattribute, multicriteria credit-related super network due to financial transaction behaviors, such as credit, wealth management, savings, and derivatives. Such a network has become an important channel for credit risk cross-contagion. This study constructs a two-layer network model of credit risk contagion between the bank and corporate counterparties from the perspective that banks do not withdraw loans from enterprises by considering the influence of corporate credit defaults on their counterparties under the credit linkage. This study analyzes the mechanism of influencing the evolution of bank-enterprise counterparty credit risk contagion in the two-tier network through theoretical analysis, including the following: the enterprises’ coping ability, risk preference, influence, level of interenterprise credit risk contagion and its network heterogeneity in the interenterprise credit association network, the risk prevention and control ability, business correlation degree, interbank credit risk contagion and its network heterogeneity in the interbank credit association network, the level of credit risk contagion between bank-enterprise counterparty credit association networks, and other factors in the case that banks do not withdraw loans from enterprises. In addition, this study performs a calculation experiment to analyze the characteristics of the evolution of counterparty credit risk contagion of bank and corporate counterparties under the double-layer network. The following four major conclusions can be drawn from the results. First, in the interenterprise credit-related network, the threshold of credit risk contagion rate is positively correlated with the marginal increase in risk perception and risk leveling ability of the enterprise. By contrast, such threshold is negatively correlated with the marginal decrease in the initial economic impact, leverage level, and influence of the enterprise. Moreover, the scale of corporate counterparty credit risk contagion is negatively correlated with the enterprise’s risk perception level and risk spillover ability but positively correlated with the enterprise’s initial economic shock level, the enterprise’s leverage level, and influence. Second, in the interbank credit association network, the threshold of the rate of credit risk contagion is negatively correlated with the marginal decrease in the degree of interbank business association but positively correlated with the marginal increase in the bank’s risk resistance ability and risk information processing ability. Furthermore, the scale of credit risk contagion of bank counterparties is positively correlated with the degree of interbank business association but negatively correlated with the bank’s ability to resist risks and process risk information. Third, if the heterogeneity of the credit-related network of bank-enterprise counterparties is high, then the rate threshold of credit risk contagion is high and the scale of credit risk diffusion is low. Moreover, the scale of credit risk contagion of bank counterparties is positively correlated with the marginal decrease in the degree of corporate and bank counterparties. Finally, the scale of bank counterparty credit risk contagion is a monotonically increasing convex function of the credit risk contagion rate in the enterprise credit association network and among the bank-enterprise networks.

Human Resource Planning and Configuration Based on Machine Learning

“…erefore, common predictive analysis methods cannot truly reflect the nature of the problem. As a remedy, researchers began to study prediction methods based on machine learning models, which have higher superiority compared with traditional prediction methods [21][22][23][24][25]. Common modern machine learning methods include BPNN, K-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and so on.…”

Systemic Risk Analysis of Multi-Layer Financial Network System Based on Multiple Interconnections between Banks, Firms, and Assets

“…Gao et al [ 36 ] studied the systemic risk of the multi-layer financial network system under macroeconomic fluctuations and found that firms with medium and high leverage and small asset sizes, as well as banks with smaller asset sizes and fewer bank–firm credit links, are more likely to default. On the assumption that banks do not recover loans from firms, Chen et al [ 38 ] constructed a two-layer credit risk contagion network model between banks and firm counterparties. In multi-layer bank–firm credit networks, they assessed the impact of relevant factors in inter-firm credit-related networks and inter-bank credit-related networks on counterparty credit risk.…”

Risk Analysis of Textile Industry Foreign Investment Based on Deep Learning

“…Literature [ 23 ] aimed at the random and nonlinear characteristics of traffic flow using LSTM and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network methods to predict short-term traffic flow. The experiments had proved that the deep learning methods based on recurrent neural network LSTM and GRU performed much better than the ARIMA models and some other methods [ 25 – 29 ].…”
