Ebook Modeling Liquidity Risk, With Implications for Traditional Market Risk Measurement and Management

The recent turmoil in the capital markets has led experts and laymen alike to cast liquidity risk in the role of the culprit. Inexperienced and sophisticated players were all caught by surprise when markets dried up. Unsurprisingly, the first to go were the emerging markets in Asia and more recently in Russia. Then it spilled over into the US corporate debt market which was indeed much more surprising. Its most famous victim has been Long Term Capital Management (LTCM). Spreads appeared to widen out of the blue; but this could have been predicted.

More generally, it is a well acknowledged fact that the standard Value-at-Risk (VaR) concept used for measuring both market and credit risk for tradable securities lacks a rigorous treatment of liquidity risk. At best, the risk for large illiquid positions is adjusted upwards in an ad hoc fashion by utilizing a longer time horizon in the calculation of VaR that at best is a subjective estimate of the likely liquidation time of the position. This holding-period adjustment is usually carried out using the square root of time scaling of the variances and covariances rather than a recalculation of variances and covariances for the longer time horizon.

Ebook Money, Politics, and a Three approaches to regulatory frameworks for Future for the International financial systems

Flexible financial markets appear to stimulate growth (Levine, Loayza and Beck, 1998). They help allocate existing resources to their most efficient uses. Most importantly they help fund competing experiments and innovations and ultimately select the most successful among them. World-wide there is now a trend towards deregulation and liberalisation of financial
markets. However, deregulated financial markets can exhibit severe volatility and disrupt economic activity as exemplified by the recent emerging market crises originating in East Asia, partly as a result of herd behaviour and panic. Some of the policy innovations of the 20 th century have been aimed at creating safety nets against systemic failure in financial systems such as deposit insurance and liquidity support.
