In this paper we propose definitions of funding liquidity and funding liquidity risk and present a simple, yet … intuitive, measure of funding liquidity risk based on data from open market operations. Our empirical analysis uses a unique … our proxies for funding liquidity risk are typically stable and low, with occasional spikes, especially during the recent …
