Definition

The European Financial Crises Database is a database on financial crises in European countries.

Objective

Towards establishing common ground for macroprudential oversight and policymaking in the EU. The database allows researchers to look at the different dimensions of crises and draw relevant implications for macroprudential analysis and policy.

Structure

The database provides precise chronological definitions of crisis periods to support the calibration of models in macroprudential analysis. It identifies financial crises by combining a quantitative approach based on a financial stress index with expert judgement from national and European authorities.
