Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Examines the impact of the financial crisis of 2008, specifically the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, on the federal funds market. Rather than a complete collapse of lending in the presence of a market-wide shock, banks became more restrictive in their choice of counter-parties. Following the Lehman bankruptcy, amounts and spreads became more sensitive to a borrowing bank¿s characteristics. While the market did not contract dramatically, lending rates increased. Further, the market did not seem to expand to meet the increased demand predicted by the drop in other bank funding markets. The authors examine discount window borrowing as a proxy for unmet fed funds demand and find that the fed funds market is not indiscriminate. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a two-country model with an enhanced banking sector featuring risky lending and cross-border interbank market frictions. We find that (i) the strength of the financial accelerator, when applied to banks operating under uncertainty in an interbank market, will critically depend on the economic and financial structure of the economy; (ii) adverse shocks to the real economy can be the source of banking crisis, causing an increase in interbank funding costs, aggravating the initial shock; and (iii) central bank asset purchases and long-term refinancing operations can be effective substitutes for, or supplements to, conventional monetary policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the lessons learned from the Global Financial Crisis of 2007–9 is that minimum capital requirements are a necessary but inadequate safeguard for the stability of an intermediary. Despite the high levels of capitalization of many banks before the crisis, they too experienced serious difficulties due to insufficient liquidity buffers. Thus, for the first time, after the GFC regulators realized that liquidity risk can jeopardize the orderly functioning of a bank and, in some cases, its survival. Previously, the risk did not receive the same attention by regulators at the international level as other types of risk including credit, market, and operational risks. The GFC promoted liquidity risk to a significant place in regulatory reform, introducing uniform international rules and best practices. The literature has studied the potential effects of the new liquidity rules on the behaviour of banks, the financial system, and the economy as a whole. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the bank liquidity crisis that occurred during the GFC, of the liquidity regulatory reform introduced by the Basel Committee with the Basel III Accord, and its implications both at the micro and macroeconomic levels. Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore contributed to the funding of this research project and its publication.

This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides evidence that central bank interventions had a statistically significant impact on easing stress in unsecured interbank markets during the first phase of the subprime crisis which began in July 2007. Extraordinary liquidity provisions, such as the Term Auction Facility by the Federal Reserve, are analyzed. First a decomposition of the Libor-OIS spread indicates that credit premia increased in importance as the crisis deepened. Second, using Markov switching models, central bank operations are then graphically associated with reductions in term funding stress. Finally, bivariate VAR and GARCH models are adopted to econometrically quantified these impacts. While helpful in compressing Libor spreads, the economic magnitudes of central interventions have overall not been very large.

Book excerpt: Since the financial crisis it is evident that the functioning of the interbank market is vital for the stability of the financial markets. In this paper I look at its regularities in traded volumes due to regulatory requirements and the impact of frictions. The frictions identified (squeezing, credit risk, uncertainty and exposure to asset markets) affect each segment of the interbank market differently. In combination with the empirical regularities those frictions amplify the segmentation of the interbank market, thus inhibiting the efficient redistribution of liquidity within this market. The analysis combines data on the unsecured and secured overnight market with data on the use of the standing facilities at the Eurosystem, which is spearheaded by the European Central Bank. Before Lehman allocational inefficiencies can be detected. During the crisis the interbank market is mainly characterized by the impact of credit risk, which leads to market segmentation. Moreover, there is a link to other asset markets impacting the distribution of liquidity. Higher expected stock market volatility raises the demand for repo transactions in liquid assets. Finally, the results suggest that frictions persist in the course of the crisis despite the extensive measures taken by the Eurosystem.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a theoretical model which explains several stylized facts observed in the euro area interbank market after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. The model shows that if costs of participating in the interbank market are high, the central bank assumes an intermediary function between liquidity surplus banks and liquidity deficit banks and thereby replaces the interbank market. From a policy perspective, we argue that possible measures of the Eurosystem to reactivate the interbank market may conflict, inter alia, with monetary policy aims. -- Liquidity ; Monetary Policy Instruments ; Interbank Market ; Financial Crisis

This book was released on 2014 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a detailed analysis of the functioning of the overnight (O/N) unsecured euro money market during the 2007-2008 financial crisis by looking at the time patterns of interest rates, market turnover and banks' borrowing costs. The aim is to disentangle the impact of market events - since the outbreak of tensions in the summer of 2007 until the end of November 2008 - from seasonal patterns of market activity, movements determined by the Eurosystem's operational framework, the impact of the ECB's exceptional crisis-related interventions. The results show the important role, alongside market events, of the additional refinancing provided by the ECB and of credit institutions' increased tendency to hoard surplus reserves rather than trading them in the secondary market. Higher counterparty credit risk and seasonal factors are important determinants of O/N rates and volumes; the exceptional provision of liquidity by the Eurosystem and the relevant changes to the operational framework have influenced banks' incentives to trade liquidity in the market. The analysis of banks' costs for uncollateralised loans provides evidence of the major role of bank reputation and, during the crisis, of a too-big-to-fail guarantee implicitly granted by the market to the banks with the highest volumes of business and of a retrenchment towards national trading counterparties.
