Vulnerability Analysis Method Based on Network and Copula Entropy

Abstract

With the deepening of the diversification and openness of financial systems, financial vulnerability, as an endogenous attribute of financial systems, becomes an important measurement of financial security. Based on a network analysis, we introduce a network curvature indicator improved by Copula entropy as an innovative metric of financial vulnerability. Compared with the previous network curvature analysis method, the CE-based curvature proposed in this paper can measure market vulnerability and systematic risk with significant advantages.
