Its conceptual appeal has made the Conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR) one of the most influential systemic risk indicators. Despite its popularity, an outstanding methodological challenge may hamper the CoVaRs’ accuracy in measuring the time-series dimension of systemic risk. The dynamics of the CoVaR are entirely due to the behaviour of the state variables and therefore without their inclusion, the CoVaR would be constant over time. The key contribution of this paper is to relax the assumption of time-invariant tail dependence between the financial system and each institution’s losses. We find that the dynamic component that we introduce does not affect the estimations for the risk of individual financial institutions, but it largely affects estimations of systemic risk which exhibits more procyclicality than the one implied by the standard CoVaR.

Confidential examination files show that the likelihood of a bank to voluntarily choose to be externally audited under internal controls is positively associated with disciplinary actions imposed against it by supervisors and that such actions seldom involve financial reporting. This identifies a broad role for third party monitoring in the governance of regulated entities. A narrow role in influencing financial reporting quality, on the other hand, is evidenced in structured interviews with bank examiners.

We study the mandated introduction of an auction (and its subsequent supervision) for the pri-mary bond market in China. These regulatory interventions significantly reduce the cost of debt for Chinese issuers. While this reduction is partly driven by reduced information asymmetry, we show the majority of the benefits flow from reduced agency conflict between underwriters and issuers. Using unique bidder-level data from a lead underwriter, we develop replicable tools and techniques to identify collusive bidding behavior that results in artificial (and economically costly) increases in bond yields. Such evidence can benefit global regulators, issuers and investors currently using unsupervised auction mechanisms.

We investigate the relationship between macro fundamentals and credit risk, rating migrations and defaults during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that credit risk models that use macro fundamentals as covariates overestimate credit risk incidence due to the unprecedented drops in economic activity in the first lockdowns. We argue that this break in the macro-credit linkage is less affected if we take an unobserved components modeling framework, both at shorter and longer credit risk horizons.

The increased burden of disclosure and governance regulations is often cited as a key reason for the significant decline in the number of publicly-listed companies in the U.S. We explore the connection between regulatory costs and the number of listed firms by exploiting a regulatory quirk: many rules trigger when a firm’s public float exceeds a threshold. Consistent with firms seeking to avoid costly regulation, we document significant bunching around multiple regulatory thresholds introduced from 1992 to 2012. We present a revealed preference estimation strategy that uses this behavior to quantify regulatory costs. Our estimates show that various disclosure and internal governance rules lead to a total compliance cost of 4.1% of the market capitalization for a median U.S. public firm. Regulatory costs have a greater impact on private firms' IPO decisions than on public firms’ going private decisions. However, heightened regulatory costs only explain a small fraction of the decline in the number of public firms.

Stress-tests provide complementary information about banks’ risk exposures. Recent empirical evidence, however, has uncovered potential inaccuracies in stress-test based assessments. We investigate the regulatory implications of these inaccuracies. Without stress-tests, the regulator cannot observe bank’s type, and sets the same requirement across banks. Stress-testing provides a noisy signal about the banks’ types, and enables bank specific surcharges, which can improve welfare. Yet, when stress-tests are less accurate, they distort banks’ ex-ante incentives to improve their risk-return profiles. As a result, higher capital surcharges can lead banks to be more risky. The optimal surcharge depends on the accuracy of stress-tests, and can be zero.

The Impact of the Prohibition of Trade-through In the paper titled “Does the Prohibition of Trade-Through Hurt Liquidity Demanders?” the authors explore the effects of the order protect rule (OPR) in the United States, which prohibits any trade-through in the stock market that does not execute at the best possible price among fast trading venues. The study found that, whereas trade-throughs may offer flexible trading strategies that can benefit liquidity demanders, the benefits are insignificant for most cases, especially for small trades and stocks with fast resilience. The paper suggests that the current separate regulations for fast and slow venues may be extended to differentiate stocks with fast and slow resilience speeds. The results are supported by a case study using the data from the Australian Securities Exchange. Overall, this study supports the regulation of the OPR.

We analyze changes in monetary and regulatory policy on trading relationships in the U.S. repo market. We estimate that when the Federal Reserve (Fed) introduced its reverse repo (RRP) facility, money market mutual funds (MMFs) eligible to lend to the Fed cut their lending in the triparty repo market to broker-dealers (dealers) by 16%, on average. By providing a backstop, the RRP facility shifted bargaining power towards MMFs eligible to lend to the Fed, and away from dealers. Although the RRP facility strengthened trading relationships between MMFs and dealers, it also prevented some foreign dealers, who were subject to less stringent implementation of the Basel III leverage ratio, from engaging in regulatory arbitrage as effectively. We find that these policy changes influenced the way MMFs managed their balance sheets and made MMFs that were eligible to lend to the Fed safer.
