Special issue on market liquidity and the impact of the financial crash
Article Type: Call for papers From: Qualitative Research in Financial Markets, Volume 2, Issue 3
The economic crash, from 2007 up to the Lehman collapse, had a severe impact on financial market liquidity. Virtually every sector of the market suffered a severe loss in liquidity, from the cash, equity and bond markets to the interbank and stock lending markets. Issues of concern included the reduction of money market liquidity as banks stopped lending to even high-rated bank counterparties, and the drying up of secondary market trading in hitherto liquid sectors such as bank CDs. Maintaining liquidity is therefore a major challenge for market parties, regulators and central monetary authorities.
The aim of the special issue is to provide a central platform and communication channel for researchers, academics, business leaders and industry practitioners to discuss the impact of the crash on market liquidity, and provide recommendations on how to maintain liquidity.
