The objective of this background note is to provide some guidance to a Debt Management Office (DMO) seeking to launch an electronic trading platform in a government securities market, taking in consideration the experience gained by other DMOs abroad. Electronic trading platforms (ETPs) are one of the most important components in the organization of efficient secondary markets for government securities.

This paper investigates the dynamics of international government bond market integration in six of the G7 economies over two decades leading up to the global crisis. It examines whether such integration had been significant; the extent to which integration at the short and long end of the yield curve differed; the nature of such integration; and the extent of the decoupling of the long rates from short rates. These issues are investigated using the rigorous smooth-transition copula-GARCH model framework. The results show that integration at the long end of the yield curve had been increasing, had become pronounced, and was significantly greater than at the short end. Decoupling between the short and long end of the yield curve was notable, with important implications for the efficacy of monetary policy in the period before the crisis. � 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Estudio de la presencia de primas de liquidez (rentabilidad adicional exigida por el mercado a los activos menos liquidos) en los precios relativos de los bonos negociados en el mercado español de deuda publica. En la primera parte se propone una clasificacion de los bonos en cuatro categorias, segun su grado de liquidez. En la segunda se estiman primas de liquidez, incluyendo nuevos parametros en la estimacion de la curva cupon cero. Los resultados sugieren la existencia de primas de liquidez en los bonos clasificados como post-benchmark (bonos que pierden el status de benchmark por la aparicion de una nueva referencia benchmark), si bien su tamaño es relativamente pequeño. Por el contrario, la falta de liquidez de los bonos pre-benchmark (bonos recien emitidos que todavia no han alcanzado el status de benchmark) no parece estar valorada. Todos estos resultados son robustos al impacto de la fiscalidad en el precio de los bonos. (fa) (ad)
