Optimal Selling Mechanisms With Endogenous Seller Outside Offers

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 875-891, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine a two‐stage selling mechanism design problem, where the buyer makes her report and the seller endogenously decides his effort (hidden investment) to generate a possibly better outside offer. The optimal mechanism shows that the seller's effort depends on the reported value of the buyer; a higher value lowers the seller's incentive ...

Detecting Informed Trading Risk from Undercutting Activity

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2109-2164, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We introduce a simple measure of informed trading risk, QIDres$QID^{res}$, the residual to liquidity quote‐improvement‐to‐deterioration ratio times −1$-1$. When facing with increased informed trading risk, liquidity providers compete less to provide liquidity, reducing their undercutting activity. Reductions in undercutting leave footprints in

Hedger of Last Resort: Evidence from Brazilian FX Interventions, Local Credit, and Global Financial Cycles

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2331-2370, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We show that FX interventions can be effective, particularly in attenuating global financial spillovers. We exploit global financial shocks and Brazilian central bank interventions in FX derivatives using three matched administrative registers: bank credit (to firms), foreign credit to banks, and employer‐employees. After the U.S.
