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.

Why do U.S. banks contribute more to global systemic risk

Financial Market Dislocations
TL;DR: This paper found that investors demand economically and statistically significant risk premiums to hold financial assets performing poorly during market dislocations, and that the importance of their fluctuations for expected asset returns is significant.

Global Liquidity Risk in the Foreign Exchange Market
TL;DR: Using a broad data set of 20 US dollar exchange rates and order flow of institutional investors over 14 years, the authors construct a measure of global liquidity risk in the foreign exchange (FX) market and estimate the liquidity risk premium in the FX market around 4.7 percent per annum.

How connected is the carbon market to energy and financial markets? A systematic analysis of spillovers and dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify and systematically analyze how the European carbon market connects with information from a wide range of other markets and find that the nature of information spillover changes over time, with systemwide return connectedness being higher and more variable than the volatility interdependence.

Dynamic risk exposures in hedge funds
TL;DR: A regime-switching beta model is proposed to measure dynamic risk exposures of hedge funds to various risk factors during different market volatility conditions, suggesting that hedge fund exposures to the market, liquidity, credit, and volatility risks change depending on market conditions.

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.
