General Overview

Description

After the global financial crises and the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding and predicting systemic risk has become increasingly crucial. As a global semiconductor and electronics manufacturing hub, Taiwan’s stock market stability directly affects the global supply chain and economy. This study revises the Financial Risk Meter (FRM) framework, which is based on Lasso quantile regression, to assess systemic risk and tail co-movement in Taiwan’s high market capitalization electronic and financial sectors.

To effectively identify and predict the upcoming recessions, we incorporated machine learning techniques into the FRM, validated by comparing it with the Business Cycle Indicators furnished by Taiwan’s National Development Council. Additionally, the FRM is contrasted with other risk indicators such as VIXTWN and Google SVI to furnish a comprehensive understanding of systemic risk in Taiwan’s electronic and financial landscape. The contributions of this paper lie in offering a localized lens for systemic risk assessment, providing valuable insights for both policymakers and investors.
