Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some recommendations for money market primers and papers:

  1. Stigum's Money Market: This is a comprehensive 1,000-page book that covers all the important players and instruments in the money markets. It's essential for understanding the behavioral elements of finance, as it extensively uses interviews with practitioners.

  2. "FX Swaps and Forwards: Missing Global Debt?": A highly recommended paper for understanding the intricacies of FX swaps and forwards.

  3. "The Dollar, Bank Leverage, and Real Economic Activity": This paper provides insights into the relationship between the dollar, bank leverage, and economic activity.

  4. "The Dollar Exchange Rate as a Global Risk Factor": A valuable resource for understanding the impact of the dollar exchange rate on global risk.

  5. "The Failure of Covered Interest Parity: FX Hedging Demand and Costly Balance Sheets": This paper discusses the failure of covered interest parity and its implications.

These resources should provide a solid foundation for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of money markets.
