Abstract
Since the 2007–2008 financial crisis liquidity risk has become one of the top priorities for regulators and new liquidity requirements have been introduced. Despite the importance of liquidity risk and the progress in addressing it there is no consensus about how to measure it and how to do so in a such a way as to provide information about (endogenous) systemic liquidity risk. This work aims to implement the “Liquidity Mismatch Index” proposed by Brunnermeier et al. (2011) to measure the mismatch between market liquidity of assets and the funding liabilities, using a sample of Italian co-operative banks. It investigates the main determinants of this mismatch, how it correlates with other bank characteristics and whether it provides useful information about borrowing decisions and distress of banks.

Moreover there is also an open debate about differentiating (liquidity) prudential regulation and supervision based on the varying nature of the risks posed by different groups of banks and there are still important differences in the ways the quantitative liquidity requirements have been transposed into national regulations and legislation. For instance, in the USA, LCR regulation has been adapted according to bank size and the community and smaller banks have been excluded from the scope of its application; in the EU, however, a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach has been adopted. This difference in approach appears counter-intuitive and should stimulate further research on the appropriate measure of liquidity risk in order to better identify which banks carry the most liquidity risk and, consequently, to design the optimal regulation in this field.

At the end of June 2015 the FITD had managed eleven interventions since its establishment in 1987. The total amount of these interventions equalled €1.5 billion (about 0.3 % of total covered deposits at year-end 2014); only two cases involved depositor payouts of very limited amounts. The FGDCC has managed 71 interventions since its establishment in 1997. The total amount of these interventions equalled €200 million (about 0.28 % of total covered deposits at year-end 2013); only one case involved a depositor payout (See De Polis 2015).
