1 Lecture 20 Economic Analysis of Banking Regulation

Asymmetric Information and Bank Regulation: Government Safety Net Bank panics and the need for deposit insurance:  FDIC: short circuits bank failures and contagion effect.  Payoff method.  Purchase and assumption method (typically more costly for the FDIC). Other form of government safety net:  Lending from the central bank to troubled institutions (lender of last resort).

Government Safety Net Moral Hazard  Depositors do not impose discipline of marketplace.  Financial institutions have an incentive to take on greater risk. Adverse Selection  Risk-lovers find banking attractive.  Depositors have little reason to monitor financial institutions.

Government Safety Net:Too Big to Fail Government provides guarantees of repayment to large uninsured creditors of the largest financial institutions even when they are not entitled to this guarantee Uses the purchase and assumption method Increases moral hazard incentives for big banks

Government Safety Net: Financial Consolidation Larger and more complex financial organizations challenge regulation  Increased “too big to fail” problem  Extends safety net to new activities, increasing incentives for risk taking in these areas (as has occurred during the subprime financial crisis in ).

Restrictions on Asset Holdings Attempts to restrict financial institutions from too much risk taking  Bank regulations Promote diversification Prohibit holdings of common stock  Capital requirements Minimum leverage ratio (for banks) Basel Accord: risk-based capital requirements Regulatory arbitrage

Financial Supervision: Chartering and Examination Chartering (screening of proposals to open new financial institutions) to prevent adverse selection Examinations (scheduled and unscheduled) to monitor capital requirements and restrictions on asset holding to prevent moral hazard  Capital adequacy  Asset quality  Management  Earnings  Liquidity  Sensitivity to market risk Filing periodic ‘call reports’

Assessment of Risk Management Greater emphasis on evaluating soundness of management processes for controlling risk Trading Activities Manual of 1994 for risk management rating based on  Quality of oversight provided  Adequacy of policies and limits for all risky activities  Quality of the risk measurement and monitoring systems  Adequacy of internal controls Interest-rate risk limits  Internal policies and procedures  Internal management and monitoring  Implementation of stress testing and Value-at risk (VAR)

Disclosure Requirements Requirements to adhere to standard accounting principles and to disclose wide range of information The Basel 2 accord and the SEC put a particular emphasis on disclosure requirements The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 established the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Mark-to-market (fair-value) accounting

Restrictions on Competition Justified as increased competition can also increase moral hazard incentives to take on more risk.  Branching restrictions (eliminated in 1994)  Glass-Steagall Act (repeated in 1999) Disadvantages  Higher consumer charges  Decreased efficiency
