12. Objectives
Thinking and rethinking the
economic and financial system as a
system of Sovereigns, Banks with
other Financial Intermediaries and
Corporations.
Financial Networks
Topology
Looking at the financial system as a biological entity and try to
identify the main risk signals also providing the right measures
of prevention and interventions.

18. Research activity
A step-by-step process
Idiosyncratic
Risks
• We inspected idiosyncratic risks within the financial system thereby making clear the
main risk predictors and how these are related to:
a) Sovereign risk
b) Banks and other Financial Intermediaries risk
c) Non-Financial Corporates risk
Risk
connections
• We inspected both the two-way and multi-way risk connections among macro-sectors
(Sovereign, Bank & other Financial intermediaries, Non-Financial Corporates)
• We explored the main risk linkages and related transmission channels
• We proposed novel systemic risk measures
EWS
SYRTO Code
• We assemble an overall EWS to be used as risk barometer for each sector and
countries alike, identifying potential threats to financial stability
• We realized a “SYRTO Code”: a series of recommendations and prescriptions, on: (a)
how to prevent and minimize systemic risks; (b) the best coordination of macro and
micro-prudential responsibilities

21. WP 2 – Data Collection
Data Center
We collect data in order to:
(i) Collect relevant information to monitor markets, financial institutions and the economy
(ii) Evaluate the severity of the risks impact, both considering individual and systemic risks
(iii) Realize a data management infrastructure where data are downloaded for empirical
analysis and model calibration
Data Management Infrastructure
The SYRTO data process is developed using the Konstanz Information Miner Platform (KNIME)
(www.knime.org). KNIME is an open-source platform based on the Eclipse Platform, which allows
the user to easily and intuitively manage modular data analysis environments.
22. WP 3 – Idiosyncratic Risk Mapping
Having the objective to detect the fundamental risk sources, we
focused on:
Idiosyncratic Risks
Sovereign risk
• Market’s reaction
following bad credit event
• Transmission shocks
within the European
CDSs, stock exchange
markets, and also
between the two
Banks & other FI risk
• Credit risk in a large
banking system
• Importance of the
interbank market
• Hedge fund market
• dark pools trading
Corporate risk
• Data mining tools on
corporate balance sheet
data with the main aim to
detect the best tools to
predict corporate defaults
23. WP 4-6 – Risk Connections
Risk connections among the system Sovereigns-Banks and other
Financial Intermediaries-Corporates (S-B&FI-C)
Two-way risk connections
Factor models with constant, time-
varying and stochastic coefficients
Multivariate stochastic volatility, to
be used a synthesis of bi-variate risk
Quantile regressions to equity
premium prediction
Multi-way risk connections
Multi-equation system with latent
variables
Network analysis
Data-mining techniques
24. WP 5 – Systemic Risk Indicators
Micro
Financial Institutions
Macro
Financial System
Aggregate/Disaggregate
Institutions ↔ System
Standard Measures
• Equity-side (CoVaR, …)
• Bond-side (CoRisk, ...)
New Measures

Volatility Model
Standard Measures
• Dynamic Granger Causality
• Principal Component Analysis
New Measures

• Leading Indicators
31. SYRTO Code – 6 Take Aways
1. Models to give early warning signals of systemic crisis
2. Low financial stress levels are not synonymous of financial stability
3. Make hard decisions based on soft information
4. Manage the complexity of the financial system
5. There is evidence for a country specific financial role
6. Systemically important institutions are correctly identified
