Estimating the marginal contribution to systemic risk by a CoVaR-model based on copula functions and Extreme Value Theory

In this paper we quantify the contribution to systemic risk of a single financial institution by utilizing a analytical framework based on the principles of Extreme Value Theory (EVT) for modelling the marginal distributions and on the properties of copula functions for describing the dependence structure between the financial system and the single financial institution.
