Why the Marginal MRO Rate Exceeds the ECB Policy Rate?
Valimaki, Tuomas - 2007
In the Eurosystem, banks' interest rate expectations should no longer have resulted in a non-zero tender spread, the difference between marginal and minimum price for liquidity, when the ECB reformed its operational framework for monetary policy implementation in March 2004 so that the policy...

Why the Effective Price for Money Exceeds the Policy Rate in the ECB Tenders?
Valimaki, Tuomas - 2009

A New Auction for Substitutes: Central-Bank Liquidity Auctions, "Toxic Asset" Auctions, and Variable Product-Mix Auctions
Klemperer, Paul - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2009

How stressed are banks in the interbank market?
Abbassi, Puriya; Fecht, Falko; Weber, Patrick - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2013
We use a unique data set that comprises each bank's bids in the Eurosystem's main refinancing operations and its recourse to the LOLR facility (a) to derive banks' willingness-to-pay for liquidity through a one-week repo and (b) to show that a bank's willingness-to-pay is a good indicator for...
