New pathways to scale for community development finance
Davidson, Steve; Casoni, Laura; Moy, Kirsten S.; Mendez, Fred; Ratliff, Gregory A.; Mahon, Cathie (2004-12)
The Economic Opportunities Program (EOP) of the Aspen Institute advances strategies (primarily in the areas of workforce development, microenterprise, community-based forestry, and access to capital and credit) that connect the poor and underemployed to the mainstream economy.

This paper is one in a series focusing on issues of scale and sustainability in the not-for-profit and community development field. For ...

Working Paper
Financial contracting and the choice between private placement and publicly offered bonds
Kwan, Simon H.; Carleton, Willard T. (2004)
Private placement bonds have unique financial contracting in controlling borrower-lender agency conflicts due to direct monitoring and the relative ease of future renegotiation. Our data show that private placements are more likely to have restrictive covenants and are more likely to be issued by smaller and riskier borrowers. We find the determinants of bond yield spreads to be quite different between private placements and public issues, reflecting the different institutional arrangements between the two markets. Finally, in issuing bonds, we find that firms self-select the bond type to ...

Can feedback from the jumbo-CD market improve bank surveillance?
Meyer, Andrew P.; Vaughan, Mark D.; Gilbert, R. Alton (2003)
We examine the value of jumbo certificate-of-deposit (CD) signals in bank surveillance. To do so, we first construct proxies for default premiums and deposit runoffs and then rank banks based on these risk proxies. Next, we rank banks based on the output of a logit model typical of the econometric models used in off-site surveillance. Finally, we compare jumbo-CD rankings and surveillance-model rankings as tools for predicting financial distress. Our comparisons include eight out-of-sample test windows during the 1990s. We find that rankings obtained from jumbo-CD data would not have improved ...

A deposit insurance system for Armenia
Manukyan, Artak (2003)
This paper provides an overview of the design for a system of official deposit guarantees for the Republic of Armenia. This proposed design takes into consideration the overall structure of the Armenian economy, its official institutions, and its financial system. Furthermore, we outline specific design features for the Armenian deposit insurance system that are consistent with the social welfare objectives that underpin arguments for its adoption, while minimizing the guarantees' distortion of incentives. Key among the design features are limited coverage of deposits, separation of deposit ...

Working Paper
Year-end seasonality in one-month LIBOR derivatives
Winters, Drew B.; Neely, Christopher J. (2005)
We examine the markets for one-month LIBOR futures contracts and options on those futures for a year-end price effect consistent with the previously identified year-end rate increase in one-month LIBOR. The cash market rate increase appears in forward rates and derivative prices, which allows the derivatives to properly hedge year-end interest rate risk. However, while the year-end effect appears in the derivative contract, these derivative contracts provide biased forecasts of both future interest rates and their volatility. The bias appears to be different at year's end for the LIBOR ...

New facts in finance
Cochrane, John H. (1999-07)
In the last 15 years, the cherished "random walk" view that stock returns are unpredictable, the "CAPM" view the market is the only benchmark and market exposure the only source of returns, and the "expectations hypothesis" relating interest rates of various maturities and countries have all been abandoned. This article surveys this revolution in finance, explaining and integrating the new view of the facts.
