讲座主要内容

We propose a new approach to evaluating a bank’s liquidity needs, which is not only well-grounded theoretically, but is also easy to apply practically. Within the framework of the global game with imperfect information, we first establish a boundary condition for bank runs and show that there exists a unique Nash equilibrium for bank runs. Using the option-pricing approach, we then obtain a closed-form formula for the value of bank equity with both bank run risk and insolvency risk. Finally, the optimal liquidity level is derived by maximizing the value of bank equity. Using data on Chinese listed banks, we show that the deviation of the actual liquid asset ratio from the optimal liquidity ratio represents a robust and reliable proxy for banks’ liquidity risk. An increased liquidity shortfall leads to worsening liquidity problems in a bank, and this is particularly pronounced when the liquidity shortfall is high.
