FEDS Paper: QE, Bank Liquidity Risk Management, and Non-Bank Funding: Evidence from U.S. Administrative Data

Matthew R. Darst, Sotirios Kokas, Alexandros Kontonikas, Jose-Luis Peydro, and Alexandros P. VardoulakisWe show that the effectiveness of unconventional monetary policy is limited by how banks adjust credit supply and manage liquidity risk in response to fragile non-bank funding. For identification, we use granular U.S. administrative data on deposit accounts and loan-level commitments, matched with bank-firm supervisory balance sheets.

FEDS Paper: Effect of the GSIB surcharge on the systemic risk posed by the activities of GSIBs

Marco Migueis, Sydney PeirceThis study assesses whether the introduction of the GSIB surcharge requirement resulted in GSIBs reducing the systemic risk posed by their activities. We find limited evidence of GSIBs managing their activities to avoid increases in their surcharges. For a sample of international banks, proximity to surcharge thresholds is associated to a decrease in the growth of intra-financial system liabilities, underwriting activities, and holdings of trading and available-for-sale securities.
