RT Generic T1 Optimal allocation of interest rate risk A1 Samartín, Margarita A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Economía de la Empresa, AB Based on the work of Hellwig (1994), this paper characterizes the optimal allocation of technology-induced interest rate risk in a competitive system of financial intermediation and its interdependence with the provision of liquidity.
