We investigate how liquidity regulations affect banks by examining a dormant monetary policy tool that functions as a liquidity regulation. Our identification strategy uses a regression kink design that relies on the variation in a marginal high-quality liquid asset (HQLA) requirement around an...

In this paper, I evaluate a potential cost of large-scale asset programs, also known as quantitative easing (QE). Specifically, I assess the effect of ongoing Federal Reserve mortgage-backed security (MBS) purchases on liquidity conditions in the MBS market. Considering several indicators of...

In this paper, we demonstrate how monetary policy implementation that relies on intervention in financial markets can significantly affect those markets, with potential implications for financial stability. Specifically, we examine the experience with the Federal Reserve's newest policy tool,...

We investigate how liquidity regulations affect banks by examining a dormant monetary policy tool that functions as a liquidity regulation. For causal inference, we use a regression kink design that relies on the variation in a marginal high-quality liquid asset (HQLA) requirement around an...

We empirically test early monetary theories in which reserve creation plays a crucial role in the transmission of quantitative easing (QE). Analyzing the unprecedented injection of reserves across several Federal Reserve QE programs, we demonstrate a causal effect of bank-level reserve...
