| Abstract: | | This paper investigates various theories explaining banks' overbid- ding in the fixed rate tenders of the European Central Bank (ECB). Using auction data from both the Bundesbank and the ECB, we show that none of the theories can on its own explain the observed overbid- ding. This implies that the proposed new rules by the ECB, aimed at neutralizing interest rate expectations, would not eliminate overbid- ding if the rationing rule in the fixed rate tenders remains unchanged. |
