Abstract

Financial markets are ever closer interconnected, the superimposed impact and scope of multiple systemic financial risks such as epidemics, wars, and supply chains are expanding day by day, and the risk of contagion and spread of financial crises has become a problem that cannot be ignored. With the deepening of the theoretical research of complex networks, the combination of systemic financial risks and complex networks has become more closely connected. Financial networks are characterized by the accumulation of multiple risks, and their overall stability depends on the stability of specific nodes in the network. Therefore, accurately identifying and ranking high-risk nodes has become a difficult point restricting the improvement of resource utilization efficiency, and it has become extremely critical. Based on the complex network theory, firstly, a directed graph from the massive financial risk warning information is constructed in this paper, and obtains the subject community of financial risk incidents. Then the superimposed impact of multiple systemic financial risks is measured from the three dimensions of complex network topology, financial risk behavior and risk propagation probability. Finally, the influence distribution and dissemination rules of nodes are analyzed in the subject community, and a high-risk nodes identification algorithm CIRA (community-based identifying and ranking algorithm) is proposed. Experiments show that the algorithm can effectively mine potential high-risk nodes and obtain higher risk density.
