This paper develops a methodology for identifying systemically important financial institutions based on that developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (2011) and used by the Financial Stability Board in its yearly G-SIBs identification. The methodology uses publicly available data...

This paper develops a methodology to identify systemically important financial institutions building on that developed by the BCBS (2011) and used by the Financial Stability Board in its yearly G-SIFIs identification. This methodology is based on publicly available data, providing fully...

This paper explores the interest rate transmission mechanism on the basis of a large disaggregated sample of British monthly deposit and loan rates 1993-2005 for seven key products. The focus is on the adjustment speed towards the long run equilibrium rate. A sizeable proportion of UK deposits...

We examine the long-term return performance and fundamental valuation of IPOs underwritten by relationship banks. We find that over one- to three-year horizons these IPOs yield returns similar to those on IPOs underwritten by non-relationship banks. Moreover, we show that there is selection...

In this paper we investigate the history of negotiable instruments and the holder in due course rule and contrast their function and consequences in the 1700s with their function and consequences today. We explain how the holder in due course rule works and identify ways in which the rule's...

In this paper, we develop and experiment an intensity based multi-factor model, which incorporates the joint modelling of default, prepayment and recovery risks. In this way, the model provides a link between the credit default swap (CDS) and the loan-only credit default swap (LCDS) markets. The...

We analyse determinants of bank credit losses in Australasia. Despite sizeable credit losses over the past two decades, ours is the first systematic study to do so. Analysis is based on a comprehensive dataset retrieved from original financial reports of 32 Australasian banks (1980-2005). Credit...

In this paper, we introduce a new robust model for modelling and pricing LCDX tranches. We extend the generic one-factor model of [1], which was developed for modelling and pricing of a synthetic CDO of CDSs, to a model for tranched portfolio of loan-only CDSs (LCDSs). The essential difference...

We produce a comprehensive decomposition of syndicated loan risk into credit, market and liquidity risk and test how these shape loan syndicate structure. Banks dominate relative to onbank investors in loan syndicates that expose lenders to liquidity risk. This dominance is most pronounced when...
