We examine the impact of introducing a digital euro, as currently conceptualized in the proposal by the European Commission, on the liquidity situation of banks in Germany. The analyses are the basis for assessing the effects of a digital euro on banks' liquidity, as presented in the 11th Annual...

This paper examines the relevance of banks' exposure to climate transition risk in the interbank lending market. Using transaction-level data on repo agreements, we first establish that banks with higher exposure to transition risk face significantly higher borrowing costs. This premium is a...

The financial crisis of 2007-2008 highlighted the risks that liquidity spirals pose to financial stability. We introduce a novel method for studying liquidity spirals and use this method to identify spirals before stock prices plummet and funding markets lock up. We show that liquidity spirals...

Bank failures can stem from runs on otherwise solvent banks or from losses that render banks insolvent, regardless of withdrawals. Disentangling the relative importance of liquidity and solvency in explaining bank failures is central to understanding financial crises and designing effective...

Under which conditions do usability constraints for regulatory capital buffers emerge? To answer this question, we build a non-linear structural banking sector model with a minimum capital requirement that banks are not allowed to breach, and a capital buffer requirement (CBR) that banks can...

Since 2014, several countries have implemented the Basel III countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) to enhance the banking sector's resilience against risks arising from excessive credit growth. We analyze the CCyB decision-making process of macroprudential authorities across Europe. Our findings...

The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the effects of capital and liquidity on bank stability as well as the existence of a potential complementary or substitute relationship between both dimensions to explain bank stability. We use a sample of 16,061 banks from 27 countries during...

This paper measures the post-treatment effects of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) on mobile money and outstanding loans from commercial banks as a percentage of the GDP in Nigeria and the Bahamas, respectively, from the perspective of financial inclusion. The literature on the topic has...

We examine the evolution of equity capital in the U.S. banking industry over the past 35 years. Earnings are the major driver of increases in equity capital in the banking industry. While common stock issuance is frequent, amounts issued are generally small and do not contribute meaningfully to...

This paper examines the existence and magnitude of an "LCR premium" in Peru's interbank market by exploiting the July 1, 2019 reform that eliminated the punitive outflow weights on repo collateral under the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). Using daily transactions from January 2019 to February...

We estimate the uninsured deposit premium - the difference between the rates paid on uninsured versus insured deposits - by linking observed average deposit rates to an estimated share of uninsured deposits. Using U.S. bank data from 1991 to 2025, we show that the average uninsured deposit...

Using both GMM estimation and the Bayesian approaches during the period of 2007 to 2021 to examine the impacts of liquidity creation (LC) on banking stability (Bank Stability-BS) on the sample of 53 banks in 5 Southeast Asian countries (ASEAN-5), the author has become a pioneer that carries out...
