Abstract

The aim of this paper is the construction of an early warning indicator for systemic risk using entropy measures. The analysis is based on the cross-sectional distribution of marginal systemic risk measures such as Marginal Expected Shortfall, Delta CoVaR and network connectedness. These measures are conceived at a single institution for the financial industry in the Euro area. Entropy indicators show forecasting abilities in predicting banking crises revealing to be an effective tool as early warning indicator.
