1 A Model of Monetary Exchange in Over-the-Counter Markets Ricardo Lagos New York University Shengxing Zhang London School of Economics

2 Money in financial over-the-counter markets Broad question: Quantity of money and performance of OTC markets What we do: Build model of fiat money used as medium of exchange in OTC markets Study effects of monetary policy on asset prices and financial liquidity How we do it: Embed the OTC market structure and gains from trade in financial assets of Duffi e, Gârleanu and Pedersen (2005) into the monetary framework of Lagos and Wright (2005)

3 Applications and results We show that the quantity of money and market microstructure: 1 Determine asset prices and standard measures of financial liquidity (spreads, trade volume, dealer supply of immediacy)

4 Applications and results We show that the quantity of money and market microstructure: 1 Determine asset prices and standard measures of financial liquidity (spreads, trade volume, dealer supply of immediacy) 2 Generate a speculative premium (or speculative bubble )

5 Applications and results We show that the quantity of money and market microstructure: 1 Determine asset prices and standard measures of financial liquidity (spreads, trade volume, dealer supply of immediacy) 2 Generate a speculative premium (or speculative bubble ) 3 Explain positive correlation between real stock yield and nominal Treasury yield (the Fed Model)

6 Applications and results We show that the quantity of money and market microstructure: 1 Determine asset prices and standard measures of financial liquidity (spreads, trade volume, dealer supply of immediacy) 2 Generate a speculative premium (or speculative bubble ) 3 Explain positive correlation between real stock yield and nominal Treasury yield (the Fed Model) 4 Lead to equilibria with recurrent belief driven liquidity crises (times of sudden large increases in trading delays and spreads, and sharp persistent declines in asset prices, trade volume, and dealer participation in marketmaking)

7 Environment Time. Discrete, infinite horizon, two subperiods per period Population. [0, 1] investors, [0, v] dealers (both infinitely lived) Commodities. Two divisible, nonstorable consumption goods: dividend good general good

8 Preferences Dealers: E 0 t=0 β t (c td h td ) Investors: E 0 t=0 β t (ε ti y ti + c ti h ti ) β (0, 1) : discount factor c td, c ti : consumption of general good h td, h ti : effort to produce general good y ti : consumption of dividend good ε ti : preference shock, i.i.d. over time, cdf G ( ) on [ε L, ε H ]

9 Endowments and production technology First subperiod A s productive units (trees) Each unit yields y dividend goods at the end of the first subperiod Each unit permanently fails with probability 1 π at the beginning of the period Failed units immediately replaced by new units (allocated uniformly to investors) Second subperiod Linear technology allows dealers and investors to transform effort into general goods

10 Assets Equity shares A s equity shares At the beginning of period t: (1 π) A s shares of failed trees disappear (1 π) A s shares of new trees allocated uniformly to investors Fiat money Money supply: A m t dollars Monetary policy: A m t+1 = µam t, µ R ++ (implemented with lump-sum injections/withdrawals)

11 Market structure First subperiod: OTC market money, equity (cum dividend) dealer-investor pairwise trade Walrasian trade between all dealers Second subperiod: centralized market general good, money, equity (ex dividend) Walrasian trade between all dealers and investors Anonymity quid pro quo trade money serves as means of payment

12 OTC market structure Investors Contact a dealer with probability δ Dealers Contact an investor with probability κ δ/v Have access to a competitive interdealer market Bilateral terms of trade Investor makes offer with probability θ Dealer makes offer with probability 1 θ

13 Timeline and marketstructure

14 Value functions Dealers W D t (a t ) : value of entering CM with a t (a m t, a s t ) Ŵ D t (a t ) : value of rebalancing portfolio a t in OTCM V D t (a t ) : value of entering OTCM Investors W I t (a t ) : value of entering CM V I t (a t, ε t ) : value of entering OTCM

15 Centralized market Dealers [ ] Wt D (a t ) = max c t h t + βvt+1 D (a t+1 ) c t,h t,ã t+1 c t + φ t ã t+1 h t + φ t a t a t+1 = (ã m t+1, πã s t+1) Investors [ Wt I (a t ) = max c t h t + β c t,h t,ã t+1 Vt+1 I ( at+1, ε ) ] dg (ε ) c t + φ t ã t+1 h t + φ t a t + T t a t+1 = (ã m t+1, πã s t+1 + (1 π) A s )

16 Dealer problem in OTCM where Vt D (a td ) = κθ Ŵ D Ŵ D t (a m td, as td ) dh t (a ti, ε) +κ (1 θ) + (1 κ) Ŵ D t (a td ) t (a t ) = max Ŵ D t (a m td, as td ) dh t (a ti, ε) â m t,â s t â m t + p t â s t a m t + p t a s t W D t (â m t, â s t ) p t : nominal equity price in the OTC interdealer market

17 Investor problem in OTCM Vt I (a ti, ε i ) = [ ] δθ ε i ya s ti + W t I (a m ti, as ti ) df D [ +δ (1 θ) ε i ya s ti + Wt I (a m ti, a s ti ) [ ] + (1 δ) ε i yati s + Wt I (a ti ) t (a td ) ] df D t (a td )

18 Trading situations in OTCM 1 Dealer with interdealer market 2 Dealer-investor trade investor offers w.p. θ dealer offers w.p. 1 θ

19 Dealer with interdealer market Dealer with a t = (a m t, a s t ) chooses (â m td, âs td ) â m td = { 0 if pt φ m t < φ s t a m t + p t a s t if φ s t < p t φ m t â s td = { a s t + 1 p t a m t if p t φ m t < φ s t 0 if φ s t < p t φ m t

22 Dealer-investor trade: formulation Investor with type ε and (a m ti, as ti ) contacts dealer with (am td, as td ) w.p. θ investor offers (a m ti, as ti ), (am td, as td ), solves: [ ] εya s ti + W t I (a m ti, as ti ) max a m ti,a s ti,a m td,as td a m ti + am td + p t (a s ti + as td ) a m ti + a m td + p t (a s ti + a s td ) Ŵ D t (a m td, as td ) Ŵ D t (a m td, as td ) w.p. 1 θ dealer offers (a m ti, as ti ), (am td, a s td ), solves: max Ŵ a m ti,as ti,am td,a s t D (a m td, as td ) td a m ti + a m td + p t(a s ti + a s td ) am ti + a m td + p t (a s ti + a s td ) εya s ti + W I t (a m ti, a s ti ) εya s ti + W I t (a m ti, a s ti )

23 Dealer-investor trade: solution when investor offers { a m 0 if ε ti = t < ε ati m + p t ati s if ε < εt where a s ti = { a s ti + 1 p t a m ti if ε t < ε 0 if ε < ε t εt p t φ m t φ s t y

24 Dealer-investor trade: solution when dealer offers a m ti = { 0 if ε t < ε a m ti + p o t (ε) a s ti if ε < ε t a s ti = { a s ti + 1 pt o (ε) am ti if εt < ε 0 if ε < εt where ( εy + φ pt o s ) (ε) t εt y + φ s p t t

25 Euler equations: dealers φ m t β max ( φ m t+1, φs t+1 /p ) t+1 φ s t βπ max ( p t+1 φ m t+1, ) φs t+1

26 Euler equations: investors φ m t β [ φ m t+1 + δθ εh ε t+1 ( εi y + φ s ) ] t+1 φ m t+1 dg (ε i ) p t+1

28 Nonmonetary equilibrium Proposition (i) A nonmonetary equilibrium exists for any parametrization. (ii) In the nonmonetary equilibrium: there is no trade in the OTC market A s I = A s A s D = As (only investors hold equity shares) the equity price is: φ s = βπ 1 βπ εy.

29 Monetary equilibrium Proposition (i) If µ (β, µ), there is one stationary monetary equilibrium. (ii) For any µ (β, µ), ε (ε L, ε H ) is the unique solution to (1 βπ) ε H ε [1 G (ε)] dε ε + βπ [ ε ε + δθ ] µ β ε G (ε) dε I βδθ = 0. { ˆµ<µ} (iii) As µ µ, ε ε L and φ s (iv) As µ β, ε ε H and φ s ε L βπ 1 βπ εy. βπ 1 βπ ε H y.
