Abstract

In the field of risk management, scholars began to bring together the quantitative methodologies with the banking management issues about 30 years ago, with a special focus on market, credit and operational risks. After the systemic eff ects of banks defaults during the recent fi nancial crisis, and despite a huge amount of literature in the last years concerning the systemic risk, no standard methodologies have been set up to now. Even the new Basel 3 regulation has adopted a heuristic indicator-based approach, quite far from an e ffective quantitative tool. In this paper, we refer to the di fferent pieces of the puzzle: defi nition of systemic risk, a set of coherent and useful measures, the computability of these measures, the data set structure. In this challenging fi eld, we aim to build a comprehensive picture of the state of the art, to illustrate the open issues, and to outline some paths for a more successful future research. This work appropriately integrates other useful surveys and it is directed to both academic researchers and practitioners.
