This paper studies how banks' balance sheets and funding costs interact in the transmission of monetary-policy rates to banks' credit supply to firms. To do so, we use creditregistry data from Germany and Portugal together with the European Central Bank's policy-rate cuts in mid-2014. The...

Keeping in view that the roles of portfolio risk and the relationship between different risky lending assets in loan valuation have not been studied empirically, this study examines the relationship between undiversiable portfolio risk and portfolio lending with an attempt to fill the gap...

We formulate the optimal balance sheet management problem as a linear program and study it using a duality approach. In addition to helping to determine the optimal balance sheet, the dual problem also provides us the market prices of interest rate risk and credit risk. Our methodology is used...
