Regulatory reform: lessons from the front line, 19th Annual Hyman P. Minsky Conference on the State of the U. S. and World Economies Organized by the Levy Economic Institute of Bard College, New York, New York, April 14, 2010
Pianalto, Sandra (2010)
In a speech at the Minsky Conference on the State of the U.S. and World Economies, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President and CEO Sandra Pianalto discussed consolidated supervision, an important, but sometimes overlooked, aspect of regulatory reform. She also described the criteria that she thinks should be used to define systemically important institutions and discussed a framework for ensuring financial firms are effectively supervised based on the risk they pose to the financial system. She concluded with an explanation of why it is vitally important for the Federal Reserve to remain ...

Working Paper
Measuring systemic risk
Pedersen, Lasse H.; Richardson, Matthew; Philippon, Thomas; Acharya, Viral V. (2010)
We present a simple model of systemic risk and show how each financial institution?s contribution to systemic risk can be measured and priced. An institution?s contribution, denoted systemic expected shortfall (SES), is its propensity to be undercapitalized when the system as a whole is undercapitalized, which increases in its leverage, volatility, correlation, and tail-dependence. Institutions internalize their externality if they are ?taxed? based on their SES. Through several examples, we demonstrate empirically the ability of components of SES to predict emerging systemic risk during the ...

Discussion Paper
On systemically important financial institutions and progressive systemic mitigation
Thomson, James B. (2009-08)
One of the most important issues in the regulatory reform debate is that of systemically important financial institutions. This paper proposes a framework for identifying and supervising such institutions; the framework is designed to remove the advantages they derive from becoming systemically important and to give them more time-consistent incentives. It defines criteria for classifying firms as systemically important: size (the classic doctrine of too big to let fail) and the four Cs of systemic importance (contagion, concentration, correlation, and conditions); it also discusses the ...

Journal Article
Explaining the U.S. tri-party repo market
Martin, Antoine; Duffie, Darrell; McLaughlin, Susan; Copeland, Adam (2012-11)
During the 2007-09 financial crisis, it became apparent that weaknesses existed in the design of the U.S. tri-party repo market that could rapidly elevate and propagate systemic risk. This article describes key mechanics of the market, focusing on two that have contributed to its weaknesses and impacted market reform efforts: the collateral allocation and ?unwind? processes. The authors explain that collateral allocation in the tri-party repo market involves considerable dealer intervention, which can slow settlement processing. The length of time required to allocate collateral has in fact ...

Stablecoins: Growth Potential and Impact on Banking
Liao, Gordon Y.; Caramichael, John (2022-01-31)
Stablecoins have experienced tremendous growth in the past year, serving as a possible breakthrough innovation in the future of payments. In this paper, we discuss the current use cases and growth opportunities of stablecoins, and we analyze the potential for stablecoins to broadly impact the banking system. The impact of stablecoin adoption on traditional banking and credit provision can vary depending on the sources of inflow and the composition of stablecoin reserves. Among the various scenarios, a two-tiered banking system can both support stablecoin issuance and maintain traditional ...

SAFE: An early warning system for systemic banking risk
Oet, Mikhail V.; Wang, Jing; Eiben, Ryan; Gramlich, Dieter; Bianco, Timothy; Ong, Stephen J. (2011)
This paper builds on existing microprudential and macroprudential early warning systems (EWSs) to develop a new, hybrid class of models for systemic risk, incorporating the structural characteristics of the fi nancial system and a feedback amplification mechanism. The models explain fi nancial stress using both public and proprietary supervisory data from systemically important institutions, regressing institutional imbalances using an optimal lag method. The Systemic Assessment of Financial Environment (SAFE) EWS monitors microprudential information from the largest bank holding companies to ...
