Have the Fed liquidity facilities had an effect on Libor?

Jens Christensen

FRBSF Economic Letter, 2009, issue aug10

Abstract: In response to turmoil in the interbank lending market, the Federal Reserve inaugurated programs to bolster liquidity beginning in December 2007. Research offers evidence that these liquidity facilities have helped lower the London interbank offered rate, a key market benchmark, significantly from what it otherwise would have been expected to be.
