Systemic risk and the U.S. financial system - The role of banking activity We show that investment banks are more exposed and contribute more to systemic risk than commercial banks or savings institutions. We find that larger banks engage more in non-traditional banking activities. We also find that bank’s size and a bank’s interconnectedness are main drivers of systemic risk, though we cannot confirm that banking activity is a main driver of systemic risk. As we match investment banks and commercial bank on bank size we find that investment banks still contribute more to systemic risk during the Subprime crisis.
