Financial Liberalization, Risky Bank Lending, and Market Discipline: An Empirical Examination of Six Countries William C. Gruben Jahyeong Koo Robert R. Moore Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
Approach • Consider six countries • look for market discipline • look for heightened risk post-liberalization • see whether market discipline and heightened risk are related
Deposit Insurance, Bank Risk, and Financial Crises: A Puzzle? • Martinez Peria and Schmukler JF 2001 • deposit insurance does not diminish market discipline • Demirgüç-Kunt and Detragiache JME 2002 • deposit insurance increases the likelihood of financial crises • Barth, Caprio, and Levine 2001 • regulatory restrictions make financial crises more likely
Financial Crises and Financial Institution Risk • Sources of financial crises • force majeure • heightened risk taking by financial institutions • When will financial institutions take on heightened risk?
Market Discipline • Deposit flows and bank characteristics • Behavior in wake of shocks
Deposit Growth and Bank Characteristics Constant term not shown
Risk Taking • Ex post problems? • Aggressive growth strategy/market share struggle • increased quantity • change in focus • Liberalization/privatization
Measuring Preemptive Investment • Shaffer 1993 • Perceived MR • MRp=P + λh(Q, Y, α) • λ=0 perfect competition • λ>0 market power & underproduction • λ<0 “supercompetition” and overproduction
Estimation • Q = α0 + α1P + α2Y + α 3 PZ + α 4 Z + α 5 PY +α 6YZ + ε • P = -λQ/(α1 +α3 Z + α5Y) + (C/Q)(ß1 + ß2 ln Q + ß3 ln W1 + ß4 ln W2) + ξ • P = -λQ/(α1 +α3 Z + α5 Y) + (C/Q)(ß1 + ß2 ln Q + ß3 ln W1 + ß4 ln W2)- ß5 DQ/(α1 +α3 Z + α5Y) + ξ
Depositor Discipline Limits Risk-Taking After Liberalization
Conclusion • Financial liberalization need not increase risk • Market discipline constrains risk taking • Financial liberalization need not precipitate financial crises
