Abstract

Financial contagion is an attractive topic in recent years, since it is one of the most important issues closely related to the financial systemic risk that could seriously hurt the economy. This review aims to summarize and clarify the different concepts and measurements of financial contagion investigated in the literatures and try to highlight their common feature and differences. Noting that “structural break” is the essential feature used to define financial contagion, most of the measurements of financial contagion proposed in the literature are along the line of modeling structural break according to different mechanisms. Although, a few measurements could be used to investigate financial contagion, there remain hardships in real applications. The emerging “Big Data” technology might be helpful to refine both the research and the practice of risk management relevant to financial contagion in model specification and information acquisition.
