https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/12/staff-discussion-paper-2022-22/
Financial constraints deter firms from pursuing optimal investment plans. In China, we find privately owned firms face greater financial constraints than state-owned enterprises (SOEs). This can be explained by our finding that lenders appear less concerned about the credit risk of SOEs, which causes distortions in the allocation of credit.2022-12-20T13:46:58+00:00enFinancial Constraints and Corporate Investment in China2022-12-20Financial marketsFirm dynamicsStaff Discussion Paper 2022-22https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sdp2022-22.pdfFinancial Constraints and Corporate Investment in ChinaKun MoMichel SoudanDecember 2022EE2E22GG1G3Forecasting Banks’ Corporate Loan Losses Under Stress: A New Corporate Default Model
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/10/technical-report-122/
We present a new corporate default model, one of the building blocks of the Bank of Canada’s bank stress-testing infrastructure. The model is used to forecast corporate loan losses of the Canadian banking sector under stress.2022-10-03T16:29:10+00:00enForecasting Banks’ Corporate Loan Losses Under Stress: A New Corporate Default Model2022-10-03Economic modelsFinancial institutionsFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesTechnical Report 2022-122https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/tr122.pdfTechnical Report 2022-122Gabriel BruneauThibaut DupreyRuben HippOctober 2022CC2C22C5C52C53GG1G17G2G21G28BoC–BoE Sovereign Default Database: What’s new in 2022?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/08/staff-analytical-note-2022-11/
The BoC–BoE database of sovereign debt defaults, published and updated annually by the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, provides comprehensive estimates of stocks of government obligations in default.2022-08-23T10:00:57+00:00enBoC–BoE Sovereign Default Database: What’s new in 2022?2022-08-23Cyber Risk and Security Investment
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/07/staff-working-paper-2022-32/
We develop a principal-agent model of cyber-attacking with fee-paying clients who delegate security decisions to financial platforms. We derive testable implications about clients’ vulnerability to cyber attacks and about the fees charged.2022-07-14T12:03:41+00:00enCyber Risk and Security Investment2022-07-14Economic modelsFinancial servicesFinancial stabilityFinancial system regulation and policiesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2022-32https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/swp2022-32.pdfCyber Security and Ransomware in Financial MarketsToni AhnertMichael BrolleyDavid CimonRyan RiordanJuly 2022DD7D78D8D81GG1G18G2G21G23Fixed-income dealing and central bank interventions
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/06/staff-analytical-note-2022-9/
We summarize the theoretical model of central bank asset purchases developed in Cimon and Walton (2022). The model helps us understand how asset purchases ease pressures on investment dealers to restore market conditions in a crisis.2022-06-30T15:00:43+00:00enFixed-income dealing and central bank interventions2022-06-30Quantum Monte Carlo for Economics: Stress Testing and Macroeconomic Deep Learning
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/06/staff-working-paper-2022-29/
Using the quantum Monte Carlo algorithm, we study whether quantum computing can improve the run time of economic applications and challenges in doing so. We apply the algorithm to two models: a stress testing bank model and a DSGE model solved with deep learning. We also present innovations in the algorithm and benchmark it to classical Monte Carlo.2022-06-28T15:47:31+00:00enQuantum Monte Carlo for Economics: Stress Testing and Macroeconomic Deep Learning2022-06-28Business fluctuations and cyclesCentral bank researchEconometric and statistical methodsEconomic modelsFinancial stabilityStaff Working Paper 2022-29https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/swp2022-29.pdfStaff Working Paper 2022-29Vladimir SkavyshSofia PriazhkinaDiego GualaThomas BromleyJune 2022CC1C15C6C61C63C68C7EE1E13GG1G17G2G21Potential netting benefits from expanded central clearing in Canada’s fixed-income market
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/06/staff-analytical-note-2022-8/
We assess whether more central clearing would enhance the resilience of Canadian fixed-income markets. Our analysis estimates the potential benefits of balance sheet netting under scenarios where central clearing is expanded to new participants.2022-06-22T10:00:37+00:00enPotential netting benefits from expanded central clearing in Canada’s fixed-income market2022-06-22How well can large banks in Canada withstand a severe economic downturn?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/05/staff-analytical-note-2022-6/
We examine the potential impacts of a severe economic shock on the resilience of major banks in Canada. We find these banks would suffer significant financial losses but nevertheless remain resilient. This underscores the role well-capitalized banks and sound underwriting practices play in supporting economic activity in a downturn.2022-05-24T15:00:17+00:00enHow well can large banks in Canada withstand a severe economic downturn?2022-05-24Financial Intermediaries and the Macroeconomy: Evidence from a High-Frequency Identification
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/05/staff-working-paper-2022-24/
We provide empirical evidence of effects to the aggregate economy from surprises about financial intermediaries’ net worth based on a high-frequency identification strategy. We estimate that news of a 1% decline in intermediaries’ net worth leads to a 0.2%–0.4% decrease in the market value of nonfinancial firms.2022-05-20T15:46:50+00:00enFinancial Intermediaries and the Macroeconomy: Evidence from a High-Frequency Identification2022-05-20Asset pricingBusiness fluctuations and cyclesCredit and credit aggregatesFinancial institutionsFinancial marketsFinancial system regulation and policiesMonetary and financial indicatorsStaff Working Paper 2022-24https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/swp2022-24.pdfStaff Working Paper 2022-24Pablo OttonelloWenting SongMay 2022EE3E32E4E44E5E51GG0G01G1G12G2G21G23G24G3G32Expectation-Driven Term Structure of Equity and Bond Yields
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/05/staff-working-paper-2022-21/
Recent findings on the term structure of equity and bond yields pose serious challenges to existing models of equilibrium asset pricing. This paper presents a new equilibrium model of subjective expectations to explain the joint historical dynamics of equity and bond yields (and their yield spreads).2022-05-11T15:27:58+00:00enExpectation-Driven Term Structure of Equity and Bond Yields2022-05-11Asset pricingFinancial marketsInterest ratesStaff Working Paper 2022-21https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/swp2022-21.pdfMing ZengGuihai ZhaoMay 2022EE4E43GG0G00G1G12
