Asset encumbrance is a central concept in the context of banks' liquidity crises, as it is associated with their capacity to obtain secured funding. This occasional paper summarises the work carried out by the task force on asset encumbrance, bringing together analyses by the ECB and those...

Logistic regressions are commonly used to assess for fair lending across groups of loan applicants. This paper considers estimation of the disparate treatment parameter when the sample is stratified jointly by loan outcome and race covariate. We use Monte Carlo analysis to investigate the...
