Dynamic modeling of marginal expected shortfall under economic sensitivity: empirical evidence from Pakistan

Abstract

PurposeSystemic risk is of concern for economic welfare as it can lower the credit supply to all the sectors within an economy. This study examines for the first time the complete hierarchy of variables that drive systemic risk during normal and crisis periods in Pakistan, a developing economy.Design/methodology/approachSecondary data of the bank, sector and country variables are used for the purpose of the analysis spanning from 2000 to 2020. Systemic risk is computed using marginal expected shortfall (MES). One-step and two-step system GMM is performed to estimate the impact of firm, sector and country-level variables on systemic risk.FindingsThe findings of the study highlight that sector-level variables are also highly significant in explaining the systemic risk dynamics along with bank and country-level variables. In addition, economic sensitivity influences the significance level of variables across crisis and post-crisis periods and modifies the direction of relationships in some instances.Research limitations/implicationsThe study examines the systemic risk of a developing economy, and findings may not be generalizable to developed economies.Practical implicationsThe outcome of the study provides a comprehensive framework for the central bank and other regulatory authorities that can be translated into timely policies to avoid systemic financial crisis.Social implicationsThe negative externalities generated by systemic risk also affect the general public. The study results can be used to avoid the systemic financial crisis and resultantly save the loss of the general public's hard-earned holdings.Originality/valueThe firm, sector and country-level variables are modeled for the first time to estimate systemic risk across different economic conditions in a developing economy, Pakistan. The study can also act as a reference for researchers in developed economies as well regarding the role of sector-level variables in explaining systemic risk.

The Influence of Customer Knowledge Management on Sustainable Promotion

“…Further, this organization seeks to build strong relationships with its customers. As these results are consistent with the study (Hanif et al, 2021). The results of the analytical descriptive statistics also revealed that the arithmetic averages related to sustainable promotion came with a high level of importance from the point of view of the research sample.…”
