Purpose

Money markets are important for central banks as they represent the initial step in the monetary transmission mechanism and the proper functioning of money markets is a pre-condition for standard monetary policy measures to be effective. All around the world, money markets have been severely affected by the financial crisis, reacting to new regulation and policy action, and more generally to broad changes in the financial market environment. The workshop intends bringing together central bankers, practitioners and academics to discuss relevant changes in money markets, the impact of these changes on their functioning and the likely implications for the implementation of monetary policy. A panel with representatives from the financial industry is also envisaged.

Topics

Submissions are welcome in all topics about money markets, and in particular on issues related to the following themes:

  • Empirical analysis of money markets (for both secured and unsecured segments at different maturities) with an emphasis on structural changes; approaches using payment systems data would be particularly welcome
  • The optimal design of money market reference rates, their importance for money market functioning and transmission of monetary policy, as well as their suitability as operational target
  • The pricing impact of arbitrage and market making on short-term interest rates, and their interaction with volatility, liquidity regulation and central bank interventions
  • Structural developments in repo markets, the impact of the sovereign debt crisis on the collateral availability in private repo markets, margin practices
  • The interaction between excess liquidity, money market rates, early repayments of LTROs and the foreign exchange rate, with implications for the signalling of monetary policy
  • Changes in the transmission mechanism and challenges for monetary policy implementation stemming from large excess liquidity and bank behaviour in monetary policy operations; the interaction between bank regulation (e.g. Basle III, CRD IV) and money market activity; impact of changes to banks’ funding models on money markets

Submissions

Authors are encouraged to submit papers on the above-mentioned topics. Submissions must comprise a full paper or an extended abstract and should be sent in PDF format to MMWorkshop@ecb.europa.eu no later than 15 July 2013. Authors of accepted papers will be notified in early August 2013. The final versions of conference papers must be sent to the same e-mail address by 20 September 2013.
