Optimal Capital Regulation Staff Working Paper 2017-6 Stéphane Moyen, Josef Schroth We study constrained-efficient bank capital regulation in a model with market-imposed equity requirements. Banks hold equity buffers to insure against sudden loss of access to funding. However, in the model, banks choose to only partially self-insure because equity is privately costly.

Demand-Driven Risk Premia in Foreign Exchange and Bond Markets Staff Working Paper 2025-29 Ingomar Krohn, Andreas Uthemann, Rishi Vala, Jun Yang We show how Treasury demand shocks transmit to foreign exchange and bond markets globally.

The transmission varies predictably across countries based on their monetary policy alignment with the United States.
