MES vs ∆CoVaR: Empirical evidence from Pakistan

Abstract

The global financial crisis unveiled that inadequate analysis of risk can annihilate the financial system and repercussions can encompass the whole economy. Pakistan is one of the developing economies that has experienced robust growth in the banking sector. This hard earned growth can only be sustained by adequately examining the risk exposure of the financial system. Consistent with this purview, this study attempts to comprehensively analyse for the first time, the systemic importance of financial institutions of Pakistan using ∆CoVaR and MES. Moreover, the study employs System GMM to analyze the bank, sector and country level determinants of systemic risk measures. The findings of the study signify that MES and ∆CoVaR measures identify different institutions as systemically important. Similarly, the influence of variables also changes with change in the systemic measure. The estimation of determinants of systemic risk outline that non-interst income is insignificant when MES is used as measure of systemic risk but the same turns significant for ∆CoVaR. The impact of deposit ratio also changes across the measures of systemic risk. Concentration has positive impact on MES but negatively influences ∆CoVaR. Finally, the impact of bank claims also varies across the measures of systemic risk. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the complementary nature of systemic risk measures for the first time in a developing economy like Pakistan. The study also identifies important relationships necessary ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Comparison of the Turkey and Pakistan Bankıng Sector during the Covıd 19 Pandemic Process and Analysis of the Relationship wıth the Internal Factors Determined Regardıng Financial Vulnerabilities

“…Especially in a globalized world, a crisis in the banking sector in any country will affect all countries at the speed of light. The best and most recent evidence of this was the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, which affected not only a tiny segment of the US financial system but the entire US financial system and led to a crisis in countries worldwide [1][2][3][4]. This illustrates that if a large-scale bank in one country fails, it will not only affect other banks in that country, but in a brief period, it will also affect banking sectors in other countries around the world to a greater or lesser extent.…”

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

“…In line with the importance of the banking sector of Pakistan, Hanif et al (2019) estimated the systemic risk of the banking sector in Pakistan using ΔCoVaR. In addition to that, Hanif et al (2021) also analyzed the comparative importance of different systemic risk measures but the impact of the complete hierarchy of variables across different economic conditions is still untapped. Moreover, this study applies marginal expected shortfall (MES) as the measure of systemic risk.…”

A Systemic Contribution and Vulnerability of Non-financial Firms: A Cross Industry Analysis

“…This study seeks to estimate the measure of systemic risk of an individual firm by calculating two conditional Values at Risk (VaR) of each firm. By following (Brunnermeier et al, 2020;Dungey et al, 2022;Hanif et al, 2021;Tobias & Brunnermeier, 2016;Zeb & Rashid, 2019) this study applies a quantile regression technique to estimate this measure. Unlike traditional linear regression, which estimates the mean of the dependent variable, quantile regression focuses on estimating various quantiles of the response variable.…”
