Abstract: Fiat-backed stablecoins are expanding, and their issuers may attain systemic relevance as reserve portfolios grow and as they may become increasingly intertwined with financial markets. This paper analyzes the resulting risks and the design choices that can mitigate them. A detailed financial-economics discussion forms ...more »

Abstract: We develop novel measures of stablecoin shocks and use them to identify the causal effects of stablecoin adoption on U.S. financial markets. Combining a daily narrative dataset of stablecoin-specific news with changes in the combined market capitalization of USDC and USDT, we measure high-frequency ...more »

Abstract: We study competition between a welfare-maximizing public platform and a profit-maximizing private platform in a two-sided payment market. We characterize the public platform’s optimal pricing and show that it balances the benefits of increased competition against the welfare costs of network fragmentation. While introducing ...more »

Abstract: As central banks explore issuing digital currencies for public use, a critical design challenge is how to protect the privacy of the granular data trails digital payments leave behind. While privacy is widely recognised as a goal, policy debates often frame it as a ...more »

Enzo D’Innocenzo, André Lucas, Bernd Schwaab and Xin Zhang, “Joint extreme value-at-risk and expected shortfall dynamics with a single integrated tail shape parameter”
European Central Bank, Working Paper n° 3166

Mar

2026
Abstract: We propose a robust semi-parametric framework for persistent time-varying extreme tail behavior, including extreme Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES). The framework builds on Extreme Value Theory and uses a conditional version of the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) for peaks-over-threshold (POT) dynamics. Unlike earlier ...more »

European Central Bank, Working paper n° 3195
Posted in: Articolo
Mar
26
2026
Abstract: When default losses elevate borrowing costs, expanding credit cannot stabilize the economy because default rates feed back to lending rates through bank balance sheets. Asset management companies (AMCs) break this loop by purchasing nonperforming loans at their long-run recovery values, thereby fixing the effective ...more »

2026
Abstract: Stock prices often react sluggishly to news, producing gradual and delayed jumps. Econometricians typically treat these sluggish reactions as microstructure effects and settle for a coarse sampling grid to guard against them. We introduce new methods to synchronize mistimed stock returns on a fine ...more »

Bank of Canada, Working paper n° 2025-38
Posted in: Articolo
Feb

2026
Abstract: We quantify the effects of large-scale stock purchases by a central bank and compare these to bond purchases, using an estimated dynamic stochastic general equilibrium macro-finance model with nominal and real rigidities and portfolio rebalancing effects. The latter arise from imperfect substitutability between stocks ...more »

Abstract: Using granular transaction-level data, this paper investigates the characteristics and implications of dealer-client trading relationships in the over-the-counter FX derivatives market. We first document that dealer-client trading relationships are persistent over time. Then, to shed light on the role of relationship strength for client ...more »
