To Finanswatch, Lars Peter Hansen said: 鈥滷inancial frictions is an important subject, which we may have underestimated. But it is fundamentally important how people relate to uncertainties, and the work that David (Lando, ed.) and Lasse (Heje Pedersen, ed.) do, is really at the forefront and it is also a subject that the rest of us are highly interested in". (Translated from the Danish quote).

Professor Lasse Heje Pedersen received EliteForsk Award 2015 for his research on financial economics.

Covered bonds are considered assets of extremely high liquidity in the final EU Capital Requirement Directive draft听 (CRD IV). This is a new way of considering covered bonds and research by FRIC member Jens Dick-Nielsen and co-authors has been cited as the key argument for changing the status for Danish covered bonds in CRD IV.

The new status for covered bonds follows a recent report by the European Banking Authorities (EBA). It is the EBA who will eventually decide on the exact definitions of highly liquid assets eligible for use in the calculation of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR).

The EBA report primarily cites the paper by Dick-Nielsen, Gyntelberg and Sangill (2012), when talking about covered bond liquidity and the potential methodology for how to assess the liquidity of other European covered bond markets as well.

At the moment, only Danish covered bonds fulfill the requirements for being extremely liquid. The extended definition of assets with extremely high liquidity to include covered bonds will therefore benefit both Danish financial institutions and the Danish mortgage bond market as a whole.
