Purpose

Non-financial corporate debt is one of the important sources of systematic risk in the real economy. Assessing a measure of systematic risk in corporation debt is currently a key challenge. In this regard, we propose a two-tier risk contagion networks model.

Design/methodology/approach

Assessing a measure of systematic risk in corporation debt is currently a key challenge. In this regard, we propose a two-tier risk contagion networks model based on four dimensions: concept definition, data structure, risk contagion network construction, and risk measurement indicators construction. We take the Jiangsu bond issuer guarantee network as a sample area.

Findings

Taking the Jiangsu bond issuer guarantee network as a sample area, we find that there is a strong correlation between the debts of non-financial corporation in China, and it is easy to become a potential regional systematic risk source. In addition, our empirical research also reveals that external risk exposure and node degree of network are two key indicators when identifying key risk-contagion enterprises.

Originality/value

The main contributions of this study are two-fold. First, this article proposes a two-tier risk contagion networks model to measure systematic risk in non-financial corporation. Second, this article describes the structure of the corporate risk contagion network.
