Identifying Systemically Important Banks and Firms Based on a Multilayer DebtRank Model

الملخص EN

The stability of the financial system plays a crucial role in the sustainable economic development.

Hence, to identify systemically important banks and firms, we take lending relationships with different loan terms and common asset relationships with different investment cycles into consideration to present a multilayer DebtRank model of the bank-firm system.

In the light of simulation research, we can obtain the following results.

First, the bank-firm system constructed displays a significant core-periphery structure, which exists in the actual financial system.

Then, only very few banks and firms show systemically important characteristics, where “important” subjects hold very high net assets and profits, while "fragile" subjects possess negative net assets and serious losses.

Furthermore, the bank-firm multilayer DebtRank model presents a great stability to a certain extent.

Overall, the multilayer DebtRank model constructed in this paper has certain theoretical reference value for the supervisory authorities to extract the internal characteristics of systemically important banks and firms and identify them effectively.
