Abstract: | This research examines how Early Warning Systems for detecting systemic risk differ across different economies. The study focuses on four central banks: the Federal Reserve (United States), the European Central Bank (Euro Area), the South African Reserve Bank (South Africa), and the People’s Bank of China (China). The aim of this research is to assess whether and how central banks of different economies measure and monitor systemic risk using Early Warning Systems. In this study, the qualitative and quantitative risk factors and variables from the Early Warning Systems are analyzed. By comparing the risk factors from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective, differences and similarities between the Early Warning Systems used by the central banks were identified. The results show that all four central banks use similar base risk factors and variables. Furthermore, no clear differences were found between the categories Advanced Economies and Emerging and Developing Economies. |
