Working Papers
Intermediation in the Interbank Lending Market (Job Market Paper)joint with Ben Craig (Deutsche Bundesbank and Cleveland Fed)
This paper studies systemic risk in the interbank market. We first establish that in the German interbanklending market, a few large banks intermediate funding flows between many smaller periphery banks.Shocks to these intermediary banks in the financial crisis spill over to the activities of the periphery banks.We then develop a network formation model in which banks trade off the costs and benefits of link for-mation to explain these patterns. The model is structurally estimated using banks’ preferences as revealedby the observed network structure in the pre-crisis period. It explains why the interbank intermediationarrangement arises, estimates the frictions underlying the arrangement, and quantifies how shocks aretransmitted across the network. Model estimates based on pre-crisis data successfully predict changes innetwork-links and in lending arising from the crisis-shocks to the intermediary banks. The model is usedto quantify the systemic risk of a single intermediary and the impact of ECB funding in reducing this risk.

Passthrough of Treasury Supply to Bank Depositsjoint with Yang Zhao (Stanford GSB)
We demonstrate the impact of treasury supply on commercial banks’ funding. We show that banks widentheir deposit spread as treasury supply increases, leading to a net deposit outflow. At the same time,wholesale funding ratios increase. Both effects are heterogeneous in nature — banks in more competitivemarkets experience larger outflows and more pronounced jumps in wholesale funding. Results remainrobust after controlling for investment opportunities and fed funds rate changes. The empirical findingsare rationalized with a search model, in which banks’ market power stems from the presence of inattentivedepositors. Consistent with Drechsler, Savov and Schnabl (2017), the model predicts the opposite effect forFed Funds rate hikes, i.e., a larger response in less competitive markets. Our model also sheds light on theeffects of the Reverse Repo Facility.
The Effects of Negative Interest Rates on Interbank Markets (under data review)joint with Andrea Deghi (European Central Bank) and Christoffer Kok (European Central Bank)
We show that the effects of negative interest rates are amplified in the unsecured interbank market. As retaildeposit rates are floored at zero while asset returns track policy rates, the use of deposit funding shrinksnet returns, lowers bank capital and raises the cost of external financing. We find that deposit reliant banksface stronger downward pressure on net interest margins and are more likely to reduce lending to the sameborrowing bank in the interbank market. However, deposit funded banks also tend to be more profitableand better capitalized to begin with, partially alleviating the adverse impact of negative rates.
