TL;DR: The cost of market funding has a significant impact on bank rates, but the difference between banks' loan and deposit rates is independent of NIBOR.

Abstract: We use a dynamic factor model and a detailed panel data set with quarterly accounts data on all Norwegian banks to study the effects of banks' funding costs on their retail rates. Banks' funds are categorized into two groups: customer deposits and long-term wholesale funding (market funding from private and institutional investors including other banks). The cost of market funding is represented in the model by the three-month Norwegian Inter Bank Offered Rate (NIBOR) and the spread of unsecured senior bonds issued by Norwegian banks. Our estimates show clear evidence of incomplete pass-through: a unit increase in NIBOR leads to an approximately 0.8 increase in bank rates. On the other hand, the difference between banks' loan and deposit rates is independent of NIBOR. Our findings are consistent with the view that banks face a downward-sloping demand curve for loans and an upward-sloping supply curve for customer deposits.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of monetary policy and macro-prudential policy on the accumulation of systemic risks in the Jordanian banking system using the vector error correction model (VECM).
Interest rate pass-through since the euro area crisis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the balance sheet characteristics that contributed to the high dispersion in interest rates on bank loans to euro area firms and document the share of the deviation in interest rate from policy rates that is accounted for by each characteristic.

Jagged Cliffs and Stumbling Blocks: Interest Rate Pass-Through Fragmentation During the Euro Area Crisis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify individual bank balance sheet characteristics that contributed to the fragmentation in the transmission of monetary policy, reflected in high dispersion in the cost of bank finance for euro area firms.

TL;DR: Using these results, data-dependent automatic bandwidth/lag truncation parameters are introduced and asymptotically optimal kernel/weighting scheme and bandwidth/agreement parameters are obtained.
Forecasting Using Principal Components From a Large Number of Predictors
James H. Stock,Mark W. Watson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider forecasting a single time series when there are many predictors (N) and time series observations (T), and they show that the difference between the feasible forecasts and the infeasible forecasts constructed using the actual values of the factors converges in probability to 0 as both N and T grow large.
An Empirical Comparison of Alternative Models of the Short‐Term Interest Rate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare a variety of continuous-time models of the short-term riskless rate using the Generalized Method of Moments and find that the most successful models are those that allow the volatility of interest rate changes to be highly sensitive to the level of the riskless rates.

Commercial bank net interest margins, default risk, interest-rate risk, and off-balance sheet banking
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the hypothesis that banks with more risky loans and higher interest-rate risk exposure would select loan and deposit rates to achieve higher net interest margins, and show that OBS activities promote a more diversified, margins-generating asset base than deposit- or equity-financing.
