Abstract
This thesis studies several topical areas in financial intermediation research. In the first chapter, I focus on the roles of financial intermediaries in monetary policy transmission to answer the question of reserve sufficiency. I construct a model linking interbank intraday payment timing with monetary policy implementation. In the second chapter, which is joint work with Darrell Duffie and Adam Copeland, we empirically identify the ten largest repo-active dealer banks as financial intermediaries crucial to the well-functioning of the repo market. We document that repo rates rose above efficient-market levels when the total reserve balances of the ten largest dealer banks declined, and that repo rate spikes are strongly associated with delayed intraday payments of reserves to these large banks. In the third chapter, which is joint work with Anirudha Balasubramanian, we study a trading game with agents who face a high-dimensional estimation problem. Our model addresses the situation faced by key financial intermediaries whose trading strategies involve big data and computational problems.
