We investigate whether financial markets reacted to the regulatory changes implied by the publication of the list of systemically important financial institutions (SIFI) and the new rules designed to address the too-big-to-fail problem of systemic banks. By applying event study methodology to a...

We study the risk-taking channel of monetary policy in Bolivia, a dollarized country where monetary changes are transmitted exogenously from the US. We find that a lower policy rate spurs the granting of riskier loans, to borrowers with worse credit histories, lower ex-ante internal ratings, and...

In this paper, we focus on the link between systemic risk and sovereign crises. We model how state support may influence a distressed financial system on an agent-based network model calibrated to 4Q 2011 data collected from several sources. Our model contributes methodologically to agent-based...

We introduce an intuitive method of enhancing low-frequency volatility measures used to compute Value-at-Risk (VaR) by incorporating intradaily liquidity information from the limit order book. Using the quote slope of Hasbrouck and Seppi (2001), a compound liquidity measure comprising the...

The paper documents cross-country variation in the relationship between the deposit insurance scheme and liquidity risk in banks and explores the banking sector specific and macroeconomic determinants that can explain the variation. There is a lack of articles exploring the phenomenon in Europe,...

We present a comprehensive analysis to calculate the Basel III liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) of U.S. commercial banks using Call Report data over the period 2001–2011, and provide indirect empirical evidence on net cash outflow rates of certain...

Little progress has been made so far in addressing—in a comprehensive way—the negative externalities caused by excessive maturity transformation and the implications for effective liquidity regulation of banks. The SRL model combines option pricing theory with market information and balance...

The Covid-19 crisis put pressure on governments to design immediate support packages for alleviating the negative economic consequences for households and businesses. In this paper, we examine the stock market's reactions to the announcements of each of the four support packages designed by the...

We examine in an event-study context what factors affect the relative performance of stocks during liquidity crises. We find that market risk, measured by the market beta, is not a good measure of expected abnormal stock returns on days with liquidity crises. Instead, abnormal stock returns...
