Recent waves of financial instability have sparked an interest in analytics for systemic risk measurement. This fifth annual conference brings together most recent advances on computational tools for systemic risk identification and assessment. The scope of models and techniques includes systemic risk and early-warning indicators, network and contagion analysis, macro stress-testing, as well as measures of coinciding systemic stress and systemically important financial institutions. The aim of the conference is to also adopt methods and techniques from other disciplines, such as computer science, engineering, biology and physics, that use computer-intensive approaches, novel data sources, visual representations or interactive interfaces, among others.
Topics
The themes of the conference cover policy and practitioner-oriented research related to systemic risk measurement. We solicit contributions covering a broad range of techniques related to systemic risk analytics, particularly related to (but not limited to) the following themes:
- Using systemic risk analytics to support macroprudential policy and regulation
- Analysing emerging risks from interconnectedness of the financial system
- Use of big data and artificial intelligence for systemic risk analytics
- Identifying risks from market-based finance
- Risks and opportunities stemming from disruptive innovations in financial technology (FinTech)
