  Staff Working Paper 2015-45 Gabriel Bruneau, Kevin Moran

• Emergency Liquidity Facilities, Signalling and Funding Costs

  Staff Working Paper 2015-44 Céline Gauthier, Alfred Lehar, Héctor Pérez Saiz, Moez Souissi

We empirically test the predictions of a new signalling model that offers a rationale for offering two different liquidity facilities.
