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...

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...

Diese Dissertation besteht aus fünf Kapiteln, die alle von den spannenden und intensiven Diskussionen inspiriert sind, welche die politische und ökonomische Agenda der letzten Jahre so eindrücklich geprägt haben. Sie umspannt das Themengebiet europäische Bankenregulierung und deren Effekte...

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....

We use matched, bank-level panel data on Libor submissions and credit default swaps to decompose bank-funding spreads at several maturities into components reflecting counterparty credit risk and funding-market liquidity. To account for the possibility that banks may strategically misreport...

Remarks at the Salomon Center for the Study of Financial Institutions, New York University Stern School of Business, New York City.

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....

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....

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...

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 2007 subprime crisis has induced a persistent disconnection between the Libor derivative markets of different tenors and the OIS market. Commonly proposed explanations for the corresponding spreads are a combination of credit risk and liquidity risk. However in the literature the meaning of...
