We estimate the contribution of large U.S, banks to the financial sector systemic risk by using value-at-risk (VaR ), conditional value-at-risk (CoV aR ), and two-stage least square (2SLS) methodology, Our sample is the monthly stock returns of 25 large U.S, banks from 1997 to 2021, We find that...

We construct a new systemic risk measure that quantifies vulnerability to fire-sale spillovers using detailed regulatory balance sheet data for U.S. commercial banks and repo market data for broker-dealers. Even for moderate shocks in normal times, fire-sale externalities can be substantial. For...

This paper investigates a model of endogenous product differentiation in subprime lending markets. In the subprime literature the discussion surrounds two competing hypotheses about pricing behavior. The opportunity pricing hypothesis suggests that lenders are rent seeking in their pricing...

This research examines the impacts of Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) on bank performance in general, and in particular how their impacts can be moderated by bank regulation strictness and investor protection quality embedded in different institutional environments. Using 2398 observations from...

Basel III has introduced new liquidity standards to directly enhance asset liquidity and funding stability within deposit taking institutions. We investigate the links between asset liquidity and funding stability as measured under the Basel III regulatory framework and US banks' deposit funding...

Banks are regarded as special institutions, and regulated and supervised heavily than other institutions. However, regulation and supervision cannot achieve zero failure regimes. Banks fail like any other commercial entities, and will continue to fail. Failure of a bank may trigger formal...

We review heterogeneous agent-based models of financial stability and their application in stress tests. In contrast to the mainstream approach, which relies heavily on the rational expectations assumption and focuses on situations where it is possible to compute an equilibrium, this approach...
