In this paper we show how interbank market frictions can play an important role in propagating and enhancing the effects of shocks in a currency union, and discuss the efficacy of two unconventional policy measures; multi-period central bank refinance operations and large scale asset purchases....

Eine Gruppe vglw. kleiner Banken mit homogenem Geschäftsmodell ist theoretisch fähig, systemische Risiken freizusetzen. Ein Präventionsmechanismus kann hierbei Marktdisziplinierung sein, der dann irrelevant erscheint, wenn Kreditinstitute nicht auf allgemeinen Interbankenmärkten aktiv sind....

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the network characteristics of two interrelated interbank money markets and their impact on overall market conditions. Based on transaction data from the unsecured and secured Swiss franc money markets, the trading network structures are assessed...

The market for central bank reserves is mainly over-the-counter and exhibits a core-periphery network structure. This paper develops a model of relationship lending in the unsecured interbank market. In equilibrium, a tiered lending network arises endogenously as banks choose to build...

We develop a DSGE model incorporating a banking sector comprising 4 banks connected in a stylised network representing their interbank exposures. The micro-founded framework allows inter alia for endogenous bank defaults and bank capital requirements. In addition, we introduce a central bank who...

We look at the effect of capital rules on a banking system that is connected through correlated credit exposures and interbank lending. The rules, which combine individual bank characteristics and interconnectivity measures of interbank lending, are to minimize a measure of system-wide losses....

Recent empirical evidence suggests that financial networks exhibit a core periphery network structure. This paper aims at giving an economic explanation for the emergence of such a structure using network formation theory. Focusing on intermediation benefits, we find that a core periphery...

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is a widely used indicator of funding conditions in the interbank market. As of 2013, LIBOR underpins more than $300 trillion of financial contracts, including swaps and futures, in addition to trillions more in variable-rate mortgage and student loans....

We analyze the impact of financial crises and monetary policy on the supply of wholesale funding liquidity, and also on the compositional supply effects through cross-border and relationship lending. For empirical identification, we draw on the proprietary bank-to-bank European interbank dataset...

The work is a normative approach towards the financial stability of a society comprising banks, firms, and a central bank (research field: macroeconomics/financial stability). I propose new rules that will endogenously emerge from the analysis to decrease the financial instability of the system....
