How does risk information dissemination affect risk contagion in the interbank market?

Abstract

This paper distinguishes between local and global risk information and disaggregates risk information dissemination in the interbank market based on specified behavioural mechanisms: information disclosure and transmission, information acquisition and decision-making. It then explores the mechanisms whereby such dissemination affects risk contagion in the interbank market and verifies through computational simulations how risk information dissemination, banks’ information acquisition capability, and information disclosure strategies affect risk contagion in the interbank market. The study shows that risk information dissemination markedly increases—and greater bank information acquisition capability reduces—the scope of contagion in the interbank market. Moreover, the greater the tendency of banks is to disclose positive information, the greater the mitigating effect of this information on contagion in the interbank market. In addition, market noise has a positive effect on contagion, while the risk information transmission rate has a U-shaped influence on contagion.

Impact of COVID-19 on the contagion effect of risks in the banking industry: based on transfer entropy and social network analysis method

“…As for the aspect of the external environment of the bank, Bian et al ( 2019 ) used the differential dynamic model to study how supervision stringency affects systemic risk and found that enhancing supervision stringency is instrumental in alleviating risk spill-over effect of other institutions and risk contagion among institutions. Li and Liu ( 2022 ) used computational simulations how risk information dissemination, banks' information acquisition capability, and information disclosure strategies affect risk contagion in the inter-bank market. Then found that risk information dissemination increases the scope of contagion in the inter-bank market, moreover, the greater banks tend to disclose positive information, the greater the mitigating effect of this information on contagion in the inter-bank market.…”

Systemic risk prevention policies targeting systemically important banks: Does clustering pattern matter?

“…Network models have been widely used to study the role of network structure in generating systemic risk and assess the risk transmission in the financial system [e.g., 7 , 27 – 32 ]. Among them, the micro-founded network model of Bluhm [ 7 ] describes the formation of financial networks, the propagation of shocks, and the emergence of systemic risk.…”
