Payment Data
Central banks are usually operators of the large-value payment system.
Many important economic policy questions are involved, related to efficiency, risk, and equity.

Payment Data
In recent years, central bank economists have begun collecting disaggregated data on payment activity.
• Summary reports.• Hypothesis tests.

Payment Data
In this presentation, I’ll show two examples of using micropayments data using the Federal Reserve’s large-value payment system, Fedwire.

Changes in the Timing Distribution of Fedwire Funds
Transfers, Armantier, Arnold, McAndrews (2008)
Payment TimingA large literature has examined the economics of payment timing: Theory: Angelini (1999, 2000)Bech and Garratt (2003)Kahn, McAndrews, Roberds (2003)Mills and Nesmith (2007)Bech (2007)Empirical workMcAndrews and Rajan (2000)Becher, Galbiati, and Tudela (2007)

Fedwire Funds Value Time Distribution, 1998 and 2006
![Page 7: Examples of Micropayments Data James McAndrews Federal Reserve Bank of New York 2008 World Congress on National Accounts and Economic Performance Measures.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f015503460f94c16f48/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Five stylized changes in the Fedwire Funds value time distribution
1998 to 2006
1.The distribution of value settled became more concentrated and less variable.
2.The highest peak of activity is later.
3. Three distinct peaks, 16:30, 17:00, and the third (the sharpest) at 17:11.
4.The 1998 distribution exhibits regular clock effects which virtually disappear in 2002.
5.The 2006 distribution shows higher activity at 08:00 and 08:30, and the 08:00 peak is only present in 2006.

Estimation strategy:reduced form regressions, one OLS
regression per percentile
• Reduced-form equation characterizing equilibria of coordination game.
• 100 independent OLS regressions• 2220 observations: business days between
March 1998 and December 2006.• Same set of independent variables in each
regression.
![Page 11: Examples of Micropayments Data James McAndrews Federal Reserve Bank of New York 2008 World Congress on National Accounts and Economic Performance Measures.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f015503460f94c16f48/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Variables are grouped into 5 categories
1) Value and Volume.
2) Federal Reserve Policies and Operations.
3) Settlement System Activities.
4) Other Control Variables.
5) Calendar Effects.

PercentileNotes: Independent OLS regressions with Newey-West standard errors (max lag = 10), for the 2nd-99th percentile of value time. The color of the point indicates the signficance of the coefficient, Red = 1%, Green = 5%, Dark Gray = insig. The upper x-axis is the mean 2006 time for selected percentiles. Obs = 2220 for each regression.

Discussion
Why should Fedwire value move with CHIPS timing?
Four hypotheses:• Liquidity cascade• Customer credit cascade• Resolution of uncertainty• Focal point
![Page 15: Examples of Micropayments Data James McAndrews Federal Reserve Bank of New York 2008 World Congress on National Accounts and Economic Performance Measures.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f015503460f94c16f48/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Economic significance:Factors influencing the 1998 – 2006
change in the 75th Percentile
We “subtract out” the time trend, and ask how much can different variables explain of the later settlement.
• Volume and value—40 percent
• Changes in CHIPS—30-20=10 percent
• Increase in concentration—40 percent
![Page 16: Examples of Micropayments Data James McAndrews Federal Reserve Bank of New York 2008 World Congress on National Accounts and Economic Performance Measures.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f015503460f94c16f48/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conclusions
Our results tend to support that the provision of liquidity, settlement institution activity, volume and value transferred, and industry structure are all influential in explaining changes in the timing of payment on Fedwire.

Payments data
The studies examined are examples of work that seeks to test hypotheses with appropriate microdata about a previously unexamined part of the financial system.
Protocols need to be established to share these data with researchers outside of central banks.
