Uncovering Sparse Financial Networks with Information Criteria
利用信息准则识别稀疏金融网络
Empirical measures of financial connectedness based on Forecast Error Variance Decompositions (FEVDs) often yield dense network structures that obscure true transmission channels and complicate the identification of systemic risk. This paper proposes a novel information-criterion-based approach to uncover sparse, economically meaningful financial networks. By reformulating FEVD-based connectedness as a regression problem, we develop a model selection framework that…
