TLDR
In this article, the authors provide a model that links an asset's market liquidity and traders' funding liquidity, i.e., the ease with which they can obtain funding, to explain the empirically documented features that market liquidity can suddenly dry up, has commonality across securities, is related to volatility, is subject to flight to quality, and comoves with the market.Abstract:
We provide a model that links an asset's market liquidity - i.e., the ease with which it is traded - and traders' funding liquidity - i.e., the ease with which they can obtain funding. Traders provide market liquidity, and their ability to do so depends on their availability of funding. Conversely, traders' funding, i.e., their capital and the margins they are charged, depend on the assets' market liquidity. We show that, under certain conditions, margins are destabilizing and market liquidity and funding liquidity are mutually reinforcing, leading to liquidity spirals. The model explains the empirically documented features that market liquidity (i) can suddenly dry up, (ii) has commonality across securities, (iii) is related to volatility, (iv) is subject to “flight to quality¶, and (v) comoves with the market, and it provides new testable predictions.

Asymmetric Trading Costs Prior to Earnings Announcements: Implications for Price Discovery and Returns
Travis L. Johnson,Eric C. So +1 more
TL;DR: The authors show that the cost of trading on negative news, relative to positive news, increases before earnings announcements, suggesting that financial intermediaries reduce their exposure to announcement risks by providing liquidity asymmetrically.

Insurance and Financial Stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a number of channels through which insurance companies could have adverse effects on financial stability, including: how insurer distress or failure might disrupt the provision of critical services to the real economy; and how their behaviours can propagate systemic risk in the financial system.

Predicting the US bank failure: A discriminant analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors trace the US bank failures during the period from 2007 to 2010 to poor investment decisions and large exposure to systemic risk channels, and find that the proportion of illiquid loans and the exposure to the interbank funding markets are the main predictors of bank failures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a synthetic master equation for the multiple term structure dynamics that integrates multiple curves with credit/funding adjustments is derived, integrating the origination of different term structures with such effects.

Credit Rationing in Markets with Imperfect Information.
Joseph E. Stiglitz,Andrew Weiss +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed to provide the first theoretical justification for true credit rationing in a loan market, where the amount of the loan and amount of collateral demanded affect the behavior and distribution of borrowers, and interest rates serve as screening devices for evaluating risk.

Bank Runs, Deposit Insurance, and Liquidity
TL;DR: The authors showed that bank deposit contracts can provide allocations superior to those of exchange markets, offering an explanation of how banks subject to runs can attract deposits, and showed that there are circumstances when government provision of deposit insurance can produce superior contracts.

Bid, ask and transaction prices in a specialist market with heterogeneously informed traders
TL;DR: The presence of traders with superior information leads to a positive bid-ask spread even when the specialist is risk-neutral and makes zero expected profits as discussed by the authors, and the expectation of the average spread squared times volume is bounded by a number that is independent of insider activity.
