A supply curve analysis for the Icelandic Housing Financing Fund bond market

Risk management deals with three types of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Much has been written about both market and credit risk but substantially less has been written about liquidity risk. Liquidity risk has been modelled for securities as a supply curve where the pr...

description Risk management deals with three types of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Much has been written about both market and credit risk but substantially less has been written about liquidity risk.
