Bank Funding during the Current Monetary Policy Tightening Cycle

Recent events have highlighted the importance of understanding the distribution and composition of funding across banks.

Working Paper
Deposit Convexity, Monetary Policy and Financial Stability

In principle, bank deposits can be withdrawn on demand. In practice, depositors tend to maintain stable balances for long periods, allowing banks to fund long-dated assets.

The Fed’s Treasury Purchase Prices During the Pandemic

In March 2020, the Federal Reserve commenced purchases of U.S. Treasury securities to address the market disruptions caused by the pandemic. This post assesses the execution quality of those purchases by comparing the Fed’s purchase prices to contemporaneous market prices. Although past work has considered this question in the context of earlier asset purchases, the market dysfunction spurred by the pandemic means that execution quality at that time may have differed. Indeed, we find that the Fed’s execution quality was unusually good in 2020 in that the Fed bought Treasuries at prices ...
