Traditionally, aggregate liquidity shocks are modelled as exogenous events. Extending our previous work (Cao & Illing …, 2008), this paper analyses the adequate policy response to endogenous systemic liquidity risk. We analyse the feedback … between lender of last resort policy and incentives of private banks, determining the aggregate amount of liquidity available …

Value function iteration is one of the standard tools for the solution of the Ramsey model. We compare six different ways of value function iteration with regard to speed and precision. We find that value function iteration with cubic spline interpolation between grid points dominates the other...
