| Popis | The aim of the study is to examine network structures of credit default swaps (CDS) market, with focus on the most liquid CDS issued by the biggest European financial institutions. Correlation-based procedure is employed in order to identify links between CDS spreads. Correlation based networks allow us to comprehend and forecast the dynamics in the CDS market with reduction of complexity of dependencies. Network modeling of CDS spreads can be useful and powerful tool, which can provide much insight and understanding on mutual dependence of CDS spreads behavior. The results show that CDS spreads are homogeneous with respect to their economic sector, rather than country’s origin. The increasing correlations between spreads in the second phase of the financial crisis can provide an evidence that there could have been created more suitable conditions for dispersion of systemic risk. Results can be beneficial for both investors and regulators as an indication of channels of financial contagion, particularly, if networks are observed continuously over time. |
