  Establishing a Resolution Regime for Canada’s Financial Market Infrastructures

  Financial System Review - June 2018 Elizabeth Woodman, Lucia Chung, Nikil Chande

  This report highlights how an effective resolution regime promotes financial stability. It does this by ensuring that financial market infrastructures (FMIs) would be able to continue to provide their critical functions during a period of stress when an FMI’s own recovery measures were failing. The report explains the Bank of Canada’s new role as the resolution authority for FMIs, which will further bolster financial system resilience.

• Analysis of Asymmetric GARCH Volatility Models with Applications to Margin Measurement

  Staff Working Paper 2018-21 Elena Goldman, Xiangjin Shen

  We explore properties of asymmetric generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models in the threshold GARCH (GTARCH) family and propose a more general Spline-GTARCH model, which captures high-frequency return volatility, low-frequency macroeconomic volatility as well as an asymmetric response to past negative news in both autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) and GARCH terms.
