Current models are based on <span>(textit{AR}(1))</span> processes that often underestimate liquidity risk. Thus, a bank relying on those models may face failure in an event of crisis. We propose an alternative approach for modeling deposits, using panel data and a momentum term. The model enables the simulation of a variety of deposit trajectories, including episodes of financial distress, showing much higher drawdowns and realistic liquidity at risk estimates, as well as density plots that present a wide range of possible values, corresponding to booms and financial crises. Therefore, this methodology is more suitable for liquidity management at banks, as well as for conducting liquidity stress tests.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45289,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s10436-020-00373-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50457679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I find that under these circumstances, the innovator will under-invest in research and, although subsidies contribute to a higher level of technology in the economy, they may harm the welfare of the working class. Subsidies to a development bank can be the most effective measure in terms of catching up with advanced economies, but this policy can be the most negative for the economic environment by diverting a large amount of resources from investment in research.

The measure is tested on six gold contracts, including spot, futures, and ETF, with a global coverage over a 2-year period.
