Abstract

This paper introduces a systemic risk measure, SR, which measures the systemic risk contribution of banks. SR estimates the capital shortfall of a firm provided that there is a prolonged decline in the market. SR is a function of the size of the bank’s balance sheet particularly size of the bank, its leverage and risk. In this study, SR estimates are calculated on a sample on 10 banks to deliver rankings on systemic risk contributions of these banks. The SR ranking shows increased systemic risk contribution by some banks in 2008-Q2 which shows its usefulness in gauging systemic risk of the banking system.
