About this ebook
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Examines the impact of the financial crisis of 2008, specifically the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, on the federal funds market. Rather than a complete collapse of lending in the presence of a market-wide shock, banks became more restrictive in their choice of counter-parties. Following the Lehman bankruptcy, amounts and spreads became more sensitive to a borrowing bank¿s characteristics. While the market did not contract dramatically, lending rates increased. Further, the market did not seem to expand to meet the increased demand predicted by the drop in other bank funding markets. The authors examine discount window borrowing as a proxy for unmet fed funds demand and find that the fed funds market is not indiscriminate. Illustrations.
