Real Effects of Stabilizing Private Money Creation
Xu, Chenzi; Yang, He - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Granja, João; Jiang, Erica Xuewei; Matvos, Gregor; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
In the face of rising interest rates in 2022, banks mitigated interest rate exposure of the accounting value of their assets but left the vast majority of their long-duration assets exposed to interest rate risk. Data from call reports and SEC filings shows that only 6% of U.S. banking assets...
