We develop a model to analyze distress spillover from the OTC interest rate swaps (IRS) market into the interbank market due to central clearing and margin requirements. We show that margin procyclicality in the OTC IRS market derived by interest rate volatility can lead to the onset of systemic...

We develop a model in which margin procyclicality and the propensity for liquidity hoarding interact to generate a systemic liquidity crisis. In this model, banks lend and borrow in the interbank market to mitigate liquidity risk and trade derivatives contracts in the OTC derivatives market to...

We develop a macroprudential stress test to assess the resilience of banking systems. The proposed approach integrates liquidity risk and solvency risk and provides a convenient method to estimate the change in both of them based on the evolution of financial distress within the banking system....

We develop a model in which margin procyclicality, asset market depth and banks' propensity for liquidity hoarding interact to generate a systemic liquidity crisis. In this model, banks trade derivatives to hedge market risk or to speculate on interest rate movements. To mitigate counterparty...

We empirically evaluate the channels through which securitization impacts bank profitability. To this end, we analyze the role played by bank risk, cost of funding, liquidity and regulatory capital in explaining the relationship between securitization and bank profitability. We find that...

We introduce the role of 'space' in analysing the effect of macroeconomic policy interventions on cross-country housing price movements. We build an empirically testable analytical model and test our theoretical predictions for a panel of European countries over the period 1985-2015. Our aim is...
