Iñaki Aldasoro, Sebastian Doerr, and Haonan Zhou, “Liquidity regulation and bank funding costs”
Bank for International Settlements, Working Paper n° 1352
Posted in: Articolo
Mag

2026
Abstract: We establish a causal link between liquidity regulation and a lower cost of bank wholesale funding. For identification, we use pre-determined variation in banks’ liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) in a difference-in-differences setup. Granular instrument-level data allow us to carefully control for any observable and ...more »

Yevheniia Bondarenko, Nayeon Kang, Vivien Lewis, Matthias Rottner, and Yves S. Schüler “Geopolitical Risk in the Euro Area: Measurement and Transmission”
Deutsche Bundesbank, Working Paper n° 5/2026
Posted in: Articolo
Mag
29
2026
Abstract: Geopolitical risk is a major concern for the euro area, yet widely used measures largely reflect a US perspective. We introduce a geopolitical risk indicator tailored to the euro area using local European news sources. Shocks to this index have significant recessionary and inflationary ...more »

Cara Bordier, Lukas Frei, and Simon Stalder “Dollar Dominance: A Source of Dollar Volatility?”
Swiss National Bank, Working Paper n° 5/2026
Posted in: Articolo
Mag
29
2026
Abstract: The US dollar (USD) is involved in 88% of global foreign exchange transactions, partly due to its role as a vehicle currency. Using high-frequency data from primary interdealer platforms, we develop a novel methodology to identify USD cross-trades. We show both theoretically and empirically ...more »

Matthew Read “Shock-percentile Restrictions for SVARs”
Reserve Bank of Australia, Working Paper n° 2026-01
Posted in: Articolo
Mag
29
2026
Abstract: I propose identifying structural vector autoregressions using ‘shock-percentile’ restrictions. These restrictions require the realisation of a structural shock in a selected episode to lie in the tail of the shock’s historical distribution, representing the belief that a relatively large shock has occurred. I argue ...more »

Mag

2026
Abstract: In this paper, we examine the patterns and determinants of cross-border cryptocurrency flows. While our analysis focuses primarily on Bitcoin flows, the cryptocurrency with the largest market capitalization, we show that our key results also extend to four major stablecoins. After documenting global patterns ...more »

Bank of Canada, Working paper 2026-17
Posted in: Articolo
Mag

2026
Abstract: We study the impact of Fed crisis interventions on market fears — the perceived risk of large asset price drops. To do so, we develop a methodological framework that allows us to evaluate the causal effect of unexpected Fed actions on changes in market ...more »

Brooke E. Hathhorn, Laura E. Jackson, and Michael T. Owyang “Does Uncertainty Really Predict Recessions?”
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ST. LOUIS, Working Paper n° 2026-010A
Posted in: Articolo
Mag
29
2026
Abstract: We evaluate the ability of economic uncertainty measures to forecast recessions in real time. We find that including uncertainty increases the predictive power of both in sample and out-of-sample forecast models relative to a baseline set of financial variables. A nonlinear maximum transformation of uncertainty, ...more »

Posted in: Articolo
Mag

2026
Abstract: We study the rise of nonbank financial intermediation and its implications for systemic risk. We develop a structural network model of banks and nonbank financial institutions (NBFIs) that decomposes intermediation into a capacity channel, driven by bank balance-sheet constraints, and a reliance channel, reflecting ...more »

2026
Abstract: In April 2020, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange temporarily switched the pricing formula for West Texas Intermediate oil market options from the Black model to the Bachelier model. In this context, we introduce an additive Bachelier model that provides a simple closed-form solution and a ...more »

Apr

2026
Abstract: Strong bank capitalisation provides long‑run financial‑stability benefits. However, transitioning to higher capital levels may involve short‑run costs. We analyse the effects of prudential capital changes on lending behaviour, macroeconomic outcomes, and banking competition using UK data within a structural VAR framework with sign and ...more »
