The Risk Sharing Benefit versus the Collateral Cost: The Formation of the Inter-Dealer Network in Over-the-Counter Trading
主讲人 Zhuo (Joe) Zhong 简介 <p><strong>Abstract:</strong><br /> The decentralized over-the-counter (OTC) market generates a trading network among dealers. In this paper, I model&nbsp;the driver behind the formation of this inter-dealer network (the selling network in particular) as the need for dealers&nbsp;to share risk. The trade-off between the benefit of risk-sharing and the funding cost of collateral determines the&nbsp;shape of the inter-dealer network. In equilibrium, dealers&rsquo; markups and trading volumes increase with the number of&nbsp;links they have to other dealers, whereas dealers&rsquo; inventory risks decrease as they form links. In addition, when&nbsp;capacity of providing liquidity differentiates dealers, the network formed exhibits the empirically observed coreperiphery&nbsp;structure. Specifically, dealers with large capacity comprise the core of the network, connecting them to&nbsp;all other dealers, while dealers who have small capacity operate at the periphery. My model matches recent&nbsp;empirical findings on the negative relationship between order sizes and markups. More importantly, I show that&nbsp;there may be structural breaks in this negative relationship as variations in order sizes may alter the inter-dealer&nbsp;network. These results suggest that empirical studies on OTC markets should control for the stability of an interdealer&nbsp;network to avoid model misspecification.</p> <div>&nbsp;</div> <p>&nbsp;</p>
