Regression Results • Roughly same results for repo spreads. • Rise in LIB-OIS (proxy for counterparty credit risk in banking system) leads to increase in spreads. • Repo haircuts depend on expected volatility in underlying collateral • More expected volatility implies larger haircuts.
Implications • Problems in sub-prime market led to higher LIB-OIS. • Higher LIB-OIS lead to larger credit spreads on securitized bonds and repos. • Higher credit spreads led to more uncertainty about bank solvency and lower values for repo collateral. • Concerns about liquidity of bonds used for repo collateral led to rising repo haircuts (equivalent to a bank run).
