Given access to higher-return investments, the issuer has an incentive to raise capital by securitizing part of these assets. At the time the security is issued, the issuer's or underwriter's private information regarding the payoff of the security may cause illiquid-ity, in the form of a downward-sloping demand curve for the security. The severity of this illiquidity depends upon the sensitivity of the value of the issued security to the issuer's private information. Thus, the security-design problem involves a tradeoff between the retention cost of holding cash flows not included in the security design, and the liquidity cost of including the cash flows and making the security design more sensitive to the issuer's private information. We characterize the optimal security design in several cases. We also demonstrate circumstances under which standard debt is optimal and show that the riskiness of the debt is increasing in the issuer's retention costs for assets.

The present study suggests a model for predicting liquidity gap, based on source and cost of funds approach concerning the daily time series data (25 March 2009 to 19 March 2018), in order to control and manage the liquidity risk. Using the family of autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity models, the behavior of bank liquidity gap is modeled and predicted. The results show that the APGAR...
متن کاملStrategic Liquidity Supply and Security Design∗
We study how securities and issuance mechanisms can be designed to mitigate the adverse impact of market imperfections on liquidity. In our model, asset owners seek to obtain liquidity by selling claims contingent on privately observed future cash-flows. Liquidity suppliers can be competitive or strategic. In the optimal trading mechanism associated to an arbitrary given security, issuers with ...
