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 provide new evidence about the effect of securitization on bank stability and systemic risk in the run-up to and following the global financial crisis by considering the role of the bank lending channel of monetary policy. In so doing, we use a structural model of bank stability to construct...

We show that an endogenous model with time-varying transition probabilities is effective in describing the propagation of liquidity shocks within the interbank market,...
