| Description | Journal: SSRN Electronic Journal The paper analyses the contagion channels of the European financial system through the stochastic block models (SBMs) which groups homogeneous connectivity patterns among the financial institutions allowing to describe in a compact way the shock transmission mechanisms of the network. With the presence of a community structure, policy interventions focused on institutions with inter-community linkages (community bridges) are more effective than the ones based on the classical connectedness measures. Accordingly, we show that the total connectedness measures can be decomposed in inter-and intra-community connectedness providing a more efficient tool for gauge the topology of the financial network. Findings show that the number of financial communities increases during period of instability and financial bridges become responsible of spreading contagion between communities representing consequently a better early warning indicator in predicting future financial losses. Moreover, during the two last financial crises, the European financial network exhibits a core-periphery structure with the presence of a main block acting as shock spreader to the rest of the network. |
