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.

Where the Risks Lie: A Survey on Systemic Risk
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the extensive literature on systemic risk and connect it to the current regulatory debate, and identify a gap between two main approaches: the first one studies different sources of systemic risk in isolation, uses confidential data, and inspires targeted but complex regulatory tools; the second approach uses market data to produce global measures which are not directly connected to any particular theory, but could support a more efficient regulation.

A Tax on Systemic Risk
TL;DR: Acharya, Pedersen, Philippon, and Richardson as mentioned in this paper proposed that each financial firm should be charged a "tax" based on its expected loss conditional on the occurrence of a systemic crisis, and discussed why a joint private-public provision of such insurance has the right incentive properties to get the financial sector to internalize systemic risk.

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.

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.
