- Taylor and Williams (2008): increased counterparty risk
- Wu – McAndrews et al. (2008): increased counterparty
risk but also reactivity to central banks interventions
- Michaud and Upper (2008): cointegrating relationship
between counterparty risk and spreads
- Cassola et al. (forthcoming): asymmetric information

Dependent variable
- Sample period: January, 24th 2005 - December, 31st
- 2008. Main focus: up to Lehman’s collapse
- Individual daily transactions on e-MID
- Dependent variable in long-term spread regression: e-
MID individual rate minus Eurepo rate of the same maturity
- Maturity:1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, 2 months,
3 months, …, 6 months,…, 12 months
- Pooling of maturities: average transaction of 37 days

Independent variables
- Bank-specific variables:
- ratings (Fitch, Moody’s, S&P’s; daily)
- balance sheet data (Banca d’Italia’s supervisory
reports; quarterly)
- Market-wide variables:
- maturity dummies (“term structure” pattern)
- window-dressing dummies (seasonal patterns)
- bid/ask dummy
- overall risk aversion measure (from the stock
market; Jackwerth 2000).

Use “jump” dummies for annual and quarterly effects.
- E.g. for 1 week rate:
- Annual dummy set to 1 between Dec 24&Dec31
- Quarterly dummy set to 1 between March 24&31,
June23&30, …
- E.g. for 1 month rate:
- Annual dummy set to 1 between Dec1&Dec31

Robustness checks
- Replicating analysis on overnight spread
- Changing the rating variable
- Separate regressions for rated and not rated banks
- Consolidated balance sheet data
- Allowing interaction between bank-specific variables
and maturity dummies
- Separate regression for bid/ask contracts
- Individual regressions for each maturity
- Omitting overall risk-aversion

Determinants of the spread
In order of importance:
(1) generalized increase in risk-aversion (70%) (2) heightened reactivity to borrowers’ characteristics (25%)
Discount to larger banks much larger than before
(3) window-dressing accounting practices (remaining)

Conclusions
- Risk aversion is the main determinant of the
increase in the spreads
- Banks have become more discerning in their
lending, a welcome change
- Large increase in the discount obtained by
large borrowers suggests risk of moral hazard has considerably increased. Reason of concern for central banks.
