Linear cointegration of nonlinear time series with an application to interest rate dynamics

We derive a definition of linear cointegration for nonlinear stochastic processes using a martingale representation theorem. The result shows that stationary linear cointegrations can exhibit nonlinear dynamics, in contrast with the normal assumption of linearity. We propose a sequential nonparametric method to test first for cointegration and second for nonlinear dynamics in the cointegrated system. We apply this method to weekly US interest rates constructed using a multirate filter rather than averaging. The Treasury Bill, Commercial Paper and Federal Funds rates are cointegrated, with two ...

Optimal Bidder Selection in Clearing House Default Auctions

Central counterparties' ability to hold successful default auctions is critically important to financial stability. However, due to the unique features of these auctions, standard auction theory results do not apply. We present a model of CCP default auctions that incorporates both the vital, but non-standard, objective of minimizing the likelihood it suffers reputationally damaging losses and the potential for information leakage to affect CCP members' private portfolio valuations. This gives insight into the key question of how CCPs should select auction participants. In particular, we ...

Working Paper
Central Clearing and Systemic Liquidity Risk

By stepping between bilateral counterparties, a central counterparty (CCP) transforms credit exposure. CCPs generally improve financial stability. Nevertheless, large CCPs are by nature concentrated and interconnected with major global banks. Moreover, although they mitigate credit risk, CCPs create liquidity risks, because they rely on participants to provide cash. Such requirements increase with both market volatility and default; consequently, CCP liquidity needs are inherently procyclical. This procyclicality makes it more challenging to assess CCP resilience in the rare event that one or ...

Working Paper
Monetary aggregation theory and statistical index numbers

This paper is the first of two from the Monetary Services Indices (MSI) Project at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The second paper, Working Paper 96-008B, summarizes the methodology, construction and data sources for the an extensive new database of monetary services indices, often referred to as Divisia monetary aggregates, for the United States. This paper surveys the microeconomic theory of the aggregation of monetary assets, bringing together results that are not otherwise readily available in a single source. In addition to indices of the flow of monetary services, the Project's ...

Revisiting Risky Money

Risk was first incorporated into monetary aggregation over thirty-five years ago,using a stochastic version of the workhorse money-in-the-utility-function model.Nevertheless, the mathematical foundations of this stochastic model remain shaky.To firm the foundations, this paper employs a slightly richer probability conceptthan standard Borel-measurability, which enables me to prove the existence of awell-behaved solution and to derive stochastic Euler equations. This measurabilityapproach is long-established albeit less common in economics, possibly because the derivation of stochastic Euler ...
