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.

U.S. Banks and Global Liquidity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize how US global systemically important banks (GSIBs) supply short-term dollar liquidity in repo and foreign exchange swap markets in the post-global financial crisis regulatory environment and serve as the "lenders-of-second-to-lastresort" using daily supervisory bank balance sheet information.
Bank Leverage and Monetary Policy's Risk-Taking Channel
TL;DR: This article found that exante risk taking by banks (as measured by the risk rating of the bank's new loans) is negatively associated with increases in short-term policy interest rates and that this relationship is more pronounced in regions that are less in sync with the nationwide business cycle, and less pronounced for banks with relatively low capital or during periods when banks' capital erodes, such as episodes of financial and economic distress.

Costs and benefits of financial conglomerate affiliation: Evidence from hedge funds
TL;DR: The authors explored how affiliation to financial conglomerates affects asset managers' access to capital, risk taking, and performance, and found that financial conglomerate affiliated hedge funds have lower flow-performance sensitivity than other hedge funds and that this difference is particularly pronounced during financial turmoil.

The Value of Control and the Costs of Illiquidity
Rui Albuquerque,Enrique Schroth +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a search model of block trades that values the illiquidity of controlling stakes is developed. But the model considers several dimensions of illiquidities, e.g., following a liquidity shock, the controlling blockholder is forced to sell, possibly to a less efficient acquirer.

Implied Interest Rates in a Market with Frictions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive an equilibrium model of the futures market where demand imbalances from traders affect the implied interest rate, and estimate the model based on S&P 500 index futures using the Kalman filter.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

TL;DR: In this paper, Campbell, Lo, and MacKinlay present an attempt by three well-known and well-respected scholars to fill an acknowledged void in the empirical finance literature, a text covering the burgeoning field of empirical finance.

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.
