Book Description
Corporate bond dealers build up considerable inventories for which they rely on short-term funding. I provide empirical evidence that dealers' inventory financing constraints are a crucial determinant of the costs of their liquidity provision in corporate bond markets. Constructing a unique dataset that links dealer identities with transaction prices, I show that dealer-specific financing constraints (as proxied by their CDS spreads) explain a substantial part of the variation in the inventory cost component of the effective bid-ask spread. Compared to low volatility bonds, the liquidity provision of high volatility bonds is more sensitive to inventory costs, especially during periods of funding stress. Finally, exploiting a quasi-natural experiment, I show that the relaxation of funding constraints through a Federal Reserve emergency credit facility temporarily alleviates liquidity problems among eligible dealers.

America's Middlemen
Author: Eric Grynaviski
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108340490
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Throughout American political history, the US government has formed alliances with militias, tribes, and rebels. Sometimes, these alliances have been successful, dramatically reshaping the battlefield. But these alliances have also risked creating larger wars in regions where the United States had no real interest. Understanding these alliances - and much of American political history - requires moving beyond our normal focus on traditional diplomats or social elites. Traders, missionaries, former slaves, and low-level government employees drove these alliances. These intermediaries used their relationships across borders to shape security politics, affecting American and thereby world history. Skillfully integrating political science with history and sociology, Eric Grynaviski provides a novel account of who matters and why in international politics. By developing broader views about political agency - how people come to make a difference in world politics - he brings into focus new histories of world politics and how they matter for scholars and the public.

Impertinences
Author: Elia Wilkinson Peattie
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803287860
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Impertinences: Selected Writings of Elia Peattie is a collection of articles, editorials, and narratives by Elia Peattie written during her tenure at the Omaha World-Herald from 1888 to 1896, richly illustrated with photographs from the period. Elia (Wilkinson) Peattie (1862?1935) was born during the Civil War and came of age at the advent of the era of the New Woman. In many ways Peattie embodied this new age of independence for women, writing both fiction and journalism and becoming one of the first Plains women to write editorial columns in a major newspaper that addressed public issues. ø Not shy with her opinions about current events in the state of Nebraska in the late nineteenth century, Peattie tackled subjects such as the Wounded Knee Massacre, capital punishment and lynchings, prostitution, the Omaha stockyards, beet-field workers in Grand Island, schools and child rearing, the need for orphanages, shelters for unwed mothers, charity hospitals, and the New Woman. ø Editor Susanne George Bloomfield includes a biography of Peattie, who is described as "tall, dignified, and kindly, and possessing a wicked sense of humor." Peattie's work now stands as a rare and valuable history of Nebraska, showing us a lively frontier society through the eyes of a woman engaged in the life of her community and her own struggle to balance her family and career

Restructuring Uganda's Coffee Industry
Author: John Baffes
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0609291610
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 29
Book Description
After experiencing a boom during the mid-1990s, the performance of Uganda's coffee industry has been disappointing. Most existing analyses see the sector's problems as quality deterioration, poor marketing position in the global market, weak regulatory framework, and poor infrastructure. Recommendations range from setting up a coffee auction to increasing the share of specialty coffees. This paper concludes that such advice has been largely inconsistent with the stylized facts of the Ugandan coffee industry. It argues that the coffee wilt disease and the effectiveness of the coffee replanting program are the two key issues on which policymakers and the donor community should focus their activities and allocate their resources.
