Abstract: Based on two dimensions of system risk, this paper studies the changes in the future inflation risk level, and uses the out-of-sample quantile R2 to further evaluate the predictive accuracy of different systemic risk indicators on inflation risk. Firstly, we compute two systemic risk indicators, MES and volatility, with data of Chinese financial institutions. And then we explore the amplification effect of these indicators on future inflation risk, under the framework of quantile regression. We find that systematic risk indicators have a strong predictive ability for the inflation level at various quantiles. MES indicator that reflects individual risk can better predict future deflation risk, while volatility index has a stronger ability to predict inflation risk. We also find that systemic risk indicators of different dimensions have different effects on inflation risk and deflation risk. In general, the MES index, which captures the individual risk of the organization, have a greater impact on the future inflation risk. While indicator that measures volatility in financial markets has more influence on the extreme lower tail of inflation rates. Finally, we predict the distribution of inflation in China from March 2020 to June 2021, and visually show the distribution trend of future inflation with forecast fan charts.
