The purpose of our work is to explore contagious financial crises. To this end, we use simplified, thus numerically solvable, versions of our general model [Goodhart, Sunirand and Tsomocos (2003)]. The model incorporates heterogeneous agents, banks and endogenous default, thus allowing various...

This paper considers whether relationships exist between the daily weighted average 7-day interbank rate, the change in the daily 7-day interbank rate, the daily level of commercial banks excess reserves and the change in the daily level of excess reserves, which may guide domestic money market...

This paper proposes a possible way of assessing the effect of interest rate dynamics on changes in the decision-making approach, communication strategy and operational framework of a Central bank. Through a GARCH specification we show that the USA and Euro area displayed a limited but...
