Abstract
We use data on interbank loans and a core equilibrium concept to examine the sufficiency of the interbank market in Canada and the bargaining power of its participants. We show that while the market is fairly sufficient, systemic inefficiency persists throughout our sample. The exact level of inefficiency matches distinct phases of both the Bank of Canada operating procedures as well as phases of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, where more intervention implies more inefficiency. We also find that bargaining power tilted sharply towards borrowers as the the financial crisis progressed. This supports a "weak" version of the Too-Big-To-Fail hypothesis, whereby market participants continued to lend to risky borrowers at favorable rates without the explicit involvement of governmental authorities.
