The Economics of Central Clearing
综述了中央对手方（CCP）的经济原理，包括多边净额结算、对手方风险保险、对资产价格和抛售的影响、保证金设置、违约瀑布和治理，并讨论了监管问题。
Central clearing counterparties (CCPs) have a variety of economic rationales. The Great Recession of 2007–2009 led regulators to mandate CCPs for most interest-rate and credit derivatives, markets in which large amounts of risks are transferred across agents. This change led to a large increase in CCP studies, which along with classical studies are surveyed in this article. For example, multilateral netting, the insurance against counterparty risk, the effect of CCPs on asset prices and fire sales, margins setting, the default waterfall, and CCP governance are discussed here. We review both CCP theory and empirical work and conclude by discussing regulatory issues.
