Seminář Connectedness in Financial Markets 10.3.2026 v Ostravě

Financial connectedness refers to the degree and structure of linkages among financial institutions, assets, sectors, or countries, such as through cross-holdings, funding relationships, shared exposures, or information spillovers. High connectedness enables rapid transmission of shocks across markets, affecting prices, volatility, and risk. Analytically, it examines how these shocks propagate through the financial system using correlations, spillover indices, network models, and VAR approaches. Understanding connectedness is crucial for identifying systemically important nodes and transmission channels, for effective portfolio diversification and risk management—especially during periods of market stress—and for supporting macroprudential regulation and financial stability policy. The lecture presents key methods for measuring connectedness and their practical applications.
