Statistical Tests; References; FootnotesThis paper examines the impact of macroeconomic and financial sector policy announcements in the United States, the United Kingdom, the euro area, and Japan during the recent crisis on interbank credit and liquidity risk premia. Announcements of interest rate cuts, liquidity support, liability guarantees, and recapitalization were associated with a reduction of interbank risk premia, albeit to a different degree during the subprime and global phases of the crisis. Decisions not to reduce interest rates and bail out individual banks in an ad hoc manner had adverse repercussions, both domestically and abroad. The results are robust to controlling for the surprise content of announcements and using alternative measures of financial distress.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/204Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009RecessionsBanks and BankingimfFinance: GeneralimfFinancing PolicyimfFinancial Risk and Risk ManagementimfCapital and Ownership StructureimfValue of FirmsimfGoodwillimfFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and RegulationimfGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfFinancial services law & regulationimfEconomic & financial crises & disastersimfFinanceimfBankingimfBank bailoutsimfLiquidity riskimfCredit riskimfFinancial sector policyimfFinancial risk managementimfCrisis managementimfFinancial services industryimfBanks and bankingimfUnited StatesimfGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009.Recessions.Banks and BankingFinance: GeneralFinancing PolicyFinancial Risk and Risk ManagementCapital and Ownership StructureValue of FirmsGoodwillFinancial Institutions and Services: Government Policy and RegulationGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and RegulationBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesFinancial services law & regulationEconomic & financial crises & disastersFinanceBankingBank bailoutsLiquidity riskCredit riskFinancial sector policyFinancial risk managementCrisis managementFinancial services industryBanks and banking330.9330.90511International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910788226603321How to Stop a Herd of Running Bears?
