We propose a model that delivers endogenous variations in term spreads driven by banks’ portfolio decision while facing the risk of maturity transformation. First, we show that fluctuations of the future profitability of banks’ portfolios affect their ability to cover for any liquidity needs...

Resolving the Spanning Puzzle in Macro-Finance Term Structure Models
Bauer, Michael D.; Rudebusch, Glenn D. - CESifo - 2015
Previous macro-finance term structure models (MTSMs) imply that macroeconomic state variables are spanned by (i.e., perfectly correlated with) model-implied bond yields. However, this theoretical implication appears inconsistent with regressions showing that much macroeconomic variation is...

Bank Networks: Contagion, Systemic Risk and Prudential Policy
Aldasoro, Inaki; Gatti, Domenico Delli; Faia, Ester - CESifo - 2015
We present a network model of the interbank market in which optimizing risk averse banks lend to each other and invest in non-liquid assets. Market clearing takes place through a tâtonnement process which yields the equilibrium price, while traded quantities are determined by means of a...
