Introduction
• In normal times, interbank markets are among the mostliquid in the financial sector and the financial literature hashistorically devoted a relatively low consideration to theinterbank market due to the short term nature of theexchanged deposits.
• During the 2007-2008 financial crisis though liquidity in theinterbank market has considerably dried up, even at shortmaturities, and an increasing dispersion in the creditconditions of different banks has emerged.
• These events have triggered a new interest in interbankmarkets.

The literature has presented two main explanations for thevolume collapse (or freeze) in the money market and for theraise in spreads during the recent turmoil:• liquidity hoarding: banks were hoarding liquidity in order
to anticipate additional money demand, both for internalneeds, and from external operators.
• Trust evaporation: banks, rationally or irrationally,perceive an increase in the counterparty-risk and becamereluctant to lend.
Our analysis is an attempt to quantify the second effect.

Randomness in matching and Trust Evaporation
• The question we address is whether banks behaviourregarding the choice of counter parties in a trade changedbefore and during the subprime crisis.
• In particular we try and quantify the level of randomness inthe weights distribution across the links of the creditnetwork.
• We interpret this randomness as a proxy of the level oftrust among credit institution.

e-MID: electronic Market for Interbank Deposits
• This market is unique in the Euro area in being a screenbased fully electronic interbank market. Outside Italyinterbank trades are largely bilateral or undertaken viavoice brokers.
• The central system is located in the office of the SIA andthe peripherals on the premises of the memberparticipants.
• The names of quoting banks are visible next to theirquotes to facilitate credit line checking. A transaction isfinalized if the ordering bank accepts a listed bid/offer.

Both italian banks and foreign banks can exchange funds.Market players are 246 members from 29 EU countries and theUS, of which:• 30 central banks acting as market observers• 2 Ministries of Finance• 108 domestic banks• 106 international banks
The number of transactions and the volume increasedsystemically until the beginning of the financial crisis, with anaverage of 450 transactions each day and an averageexposure of about 5.5 million euros per transaction.According to European Central Bank (2007) e-MID accounted,before the crisis, for 17% of total turnover in unsecured moneymarket in the Euro Area. In the last report on money markets(European Central Bank, 2010), it recorded 12% of the totalovernight turnovers.

effected on the day of the trade and to return on thesubsequent Business Day;
• Tomorrow next (T/N): Trades for a transfer of funds on thefirst Business Day following the day of the trade and toreturn on the second Business Day following that of thetrade;
• Spot next (S/N): Trades for a transfer of funds on thesecond Business Day following the day of the trade and toreturn on the third Business Day following that of the trade;

• Time Deposits: Trades for an initial transfer of funds and toreturn at a predetermined maturity (from 1 week to 12months);
• Broken Date Deposit: Trades with freely agreed InitialValue Date and Final Value Date between parties withoutstandardization obligations provided that both dates do notcoincide with the previous ones and that the two days arenot separated by a period superior to a calendar year
We only look at ON and ONL transactions!!

• The data base is composed by the records of alltransactions registered in the period 01/1999–12/2009 fora total of 1.523.510 transactions.
• For each contract we have information about the date andtime of the trade, the quantity, the interest rate and theencoded name of the quoting and ordering bank.
• The banks are reported together with a code representingtheir country and, when the bank is Italian, a final labelthat indicates the class of capitalization (major, large,medium, small, minor)
• The aggregate characteristics of the entire set oftransactions can thus be studied in terms of the statisticaland topological properties of this HIGHLYHETEROGENEOUS network.

To summarize:• larger banks overall trade larger volumes• larger banks trade more often than smaller banks• some banks tend to trade predominantly on one side of
the market• individual trades have comparable volumes
We choose the number of exchanges between two parties asthe weight of the edge.

Random reshuffling
In order to compare the values of various network metrics withrandom null hypothesis that preserve the system’sheterogeneity
• We use the edge swap algorithm to generate syntheticnetworks to use as null models.
• An edge swap selects two ordered pairs (x , y),(u, v) andswaps the endpoints (target nodes) while keeping thesources fixed. This procedure preserves the degree ofeach node. Not all edges swaps are accepted during arewiring process as some swaps can produce graphs thatcontain self loops or parallel edges. Such sampling bias isreduced in the limit of large or sparse graphs.
• We perform 4E swaps per randomisation and averageover 100 randomizations for each of the 133 empiricalnetwork.

For directed and weighted representations we can construct arandomisation using the edge swap procedure (that nowconserves the vertex in-out strength sequence but not thein-out degree sequence) in the following way.• We define the number of transactions between to edges
as the weight of the edge.• Each weighted directed edge with weight wuv is further
inserted wuv − 1 times in the network and all edges havetheir weights set to 1.
• The resulting multigraph is then rewired as a directedunweighted graph where each edge now indicates a singletransactions and the number of edges between u and vcorrespond to their number of transactions.
• The rewired multigraph is then collapsed to a directedweighted graph via the reverse procedure (i.e. all mdirected and unweighted edges between u and v arecollapsed into a single edge with weight m).

• Quantitites that are preserved in the randomisedensemble after the degree-preserving randomisation canbe then traced back/explained as consequences of the inand out degrees distributions and thus the degreedistribution assessed in terms of its information content inthe context of the real-world network.
• Quantitites that are preserved in the randomisedensemble after the strength preserving randomisation canbe then traced back/explained as consequences of thestrength distributions (or heterogeneity in size).
• If system heterogeneity cannot fully explain the dynamicsof the various metrics then we cannot say that bankbehaviour is random.

Choice of timescale:
Two natural timescales in the system
• daily:maturity of the interbank loans• monthly: around 23 business days-known as a
maintenance period
We perform the analysis at the monthly time scale as want tomonitor the frequency of exchanges between counter partiesand compare it with a random null hypothesis that preservesbank’s heterogeneity in strengths (number of trades).

• The minimum value (no uncertainty) is achieved when aborrower only trades with one lender or viceversa H = 0.
• The maximum values for all of the above quantities areHmax = log(N) except for H(L,B)max = 2 log(N).
• Intuitively H(X|Y) is the amount of uncertainty remainingabout X after Y is known, it tells us how much Y spreadsits trades (high entropy) or concentrate them with fewcounter parties (low entropy).
• The intuitive meaning of mutual information is the amountof information that knowing either variable provides aboutthe other, is a quantity that measures the mutualdependence of the two random variables, it tells us howmuch banks forms exclusive trading partnerships.

Relationship Lending: Results from the literature.
The empirical literature highlighted the presence ofRelationship Lending in OTC interbank transactions.
• Banks develop long-lasting trading relationships onthe interbank market on different maturities (Cocco etal. 2009)
• Relationships are influenced by banks characteristics(Size, Non-performing loans, etc.).
• Relationships reinforce over time (Affinito 2011)• The interest rate on interbank transactions is
influenced by the strength of the relationship.• Relationships lasted after the crisis (Affinito 2011, and
Brauning 2011).

Interpretations
Main interpretations:• Relationships as liquidity insurance (high reserve
imbalances, and volatile liquidity shocks increase theuse of relationship lending) (Cocco et al. 2009).
• ON Relationships as a strategic relationship (Bankstransacting outside ON have higher relationships).
• Banks continuously monitor each other (bankscharacteristics are always important) (Furfine 2001,Affinito 2011).
• Before the crisis banks paid a premium forrelationship. The opposite holds after the crisis (roleof information?). (Brauning 2011)

• Affinity
Affinity is a measure of similarity among nodes and is definedas
knn,i =1ki
∑j∈V(i)
kj (9)
If knn(k) is an increasing function of k , vertices with highdegree have a larger probability to be connected with largedegree vertices: assortative mixing. A decreasing behavior ofknn(k) defines disassortative mixing, in the sense that highdegree vertices have a majority of neighbors with low degree,while the opposite holds for low degree vertices.

• Thus kout−outnn,i and kout−out
nn,i can be used to monitorsystemic risk. Potentially dangerous situation for the allsystem, in case of defaults, are those in which banks witha large k in
i also have a large k in−innn,i , or banks with a large

kout−innn,i allows us to identify banks that may pose a serious
liquidity problem to their neighbours if they exit the market.
Such banks are those with a high kouti and low kout−in
nn,i , that isbanks who lend to several counter parties who in turn borrowfrom very few other banks.
If one of these high kouti and low kout−in
nn,i bank stops lending itscounter parties may find it difficult to satisfy their liquidity needsfrom the few remaining lenders (unless they can find newlenders).

Degree correlations
For a directed network four Pearson degree correlationcoefficients can be defined. r(α, β) where α, β ∈ {kin, kout}measures the tendencies of edges to have high α as sourcesand high β as targets and is defined as.
r(α, β) =
E−1∑
i
[(jαi − jα)(hβi − hβ)]
σασβ
where E is the number of edges in the network (tradingpartnerships taking into account the flow of liquidity) and jαi , hβithe α and β-degree of the source j and target h node for edge i .
For a directed weighted coefficient it suffices to replace degreeby strength.

Clustering
From the point of view of a vertex i four directed clusteringcoefficients,in, out, middle, cycle can be distinguisheddepending on the direction of edges participating in a triangle:• in: when node i holds two inward edges.• out : when node i holds two outward edges.• middle: when one of the neighbours of i holds two outward
edges and the other holds two inward edges.• cycle: when there is a cyclical relation between i and its
neighbours.

• The in coefficient represents high risk as if the bank i whohas borrowed from two other banks j and k fails to repayits loans then j and k may also fail to settle their obligationthat completes the triangle.
• The middle coefficient represents the case where thecounter parties j , k of bank i are either borrowing orlending from the other two banks, thus a collapse of i willtrigger a possible collapse of the whole triangle.
• By contrast out does not increase systemic risk as thecollapse of a bank with two outward (lending) edges willnot render the other two banks unable to fulfill theobligation between them.
• Finally cycle does not represent high systemic risk due tothe cyclical relation of liquidity flow.

Path lengths
• Since none of the maintenance period networks arestrongly connected, i.e. there aren’t directed pathsbetween all pairs in both directions, it becomesproblematic to calculates quantities such as the averageshortest path length, diameter, etc.
• However we can look at the number of pairs in the networkfor which a path exists (in both directions).
• Let nr be the fraction of vertex pairs that can be reachedvia a directed path (of any length). Then fr = nr
N(N−1) is thefraction of all pairs that can be reached in the graph.
• We can further divide fr by edge density Eρ = EN(N−1) to
get the quantity nrE which is the number of reachable pairs
in units of the number of edges in the system..

Centralities
Centrality measures the importance of a vertex in a network interms of channelling the flow of a quantity, in our case liquidity.• The betweenness centrality of a vertex v is the sum of
shortest paths between all nodes that pass through v .• The closeness centrality of vertex v is the inverse of the
sum of the distance (sum of shortest paths) of v to allother vertices .
• The in and out centralities measure the in reps. out degreeof a vertex normalised by the number of all vertices.
It is also interesting to calculate the centralities for eachcapitalization group separately. In this case the centrality of agroup i is defined as the average centrality over the groupmembers.
