Systemic crisis and growth revisited : has the global financial crisis marked a new era?

Steinkamp, Sven; Westermann, Frank - 2018

Occasional crises have been shown to be part of growth enhancing mechanism (see Rancière, Tornell and Westermann, 2008). In this paper, we document that neither the stereotypical case study of India vs. Thailand, nor the benchmark growth-regression in this earlier research support this result...

Finance and income inequality : a review and new evidence

Haan, Jakob de; Sturm, Jan-Egbert - 2016

Using a panel fixed effects model for a sample of 121 countries covering 1975-2005, we examine how financial development, financial liberalization and banking crises are related to income inequality. In contrast with most previous work, our results suggest that all finance variables increase...

Spillovers from systemic bank defaults

Mink, Mark; Haan, Jakob de - 2014

We examine to what extent banks' stock market values during the 2007-2012 financial crisis were driven by increases in the default risk of banks designated as globally systemically important by the Financial Stability Board. We find that bank market values hardly respond to changes in the...

China's capital flight : pre- and post-crisis experiences

Cheung, Yin-Wong; Steinkamp, Sven; Westermann, Frank - 2015

We study China's illicit capital flow and document a change in its pattern. Specifically, we observe that China's capital flight, especially the one measured by trade misinvoicing, exhibits a weakened response in the post-2007 period to the covered interest disparity, which is a theoretical...

Regulation, financial crises, and liberalization traps

Marchionne, Francesco; Pisicoli, Beniamino; Fratianni, … - 2019

To reconcile the mixed empirical results, we develop a theoretical model whose main implication is a concave impact of regulation on the probability of a crisis. We test this relationship by applying a Probit model of a non-linear specification to annual data from 1999 to 2011 drawn from 132...

Financial policymaking after crises : public vs. private interests

Saka, Orkun; Ji, Yuemei; De Grauwe, Paul - 2021

We first present a simple model of post-crisis policymaking driven by both public and private interests. Using a novel dataset covering 94 countries between 1973 and 2015, we then establish that financial crises can lead to government interventions in financial markets. Consistent with a public...

Climate actions and stranded assets : the role of financial regulation and monetary policy

Diluiso, Francesca; Annicchiarico, Barbara; Kalkuhl, … - 2020

Limiting global warming to well below 20C may result in the stranding of carbon-sensitive assets. This could pose substantial threats to financial and macroeconomic stability. We use a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with financial frictions and climate policy to study the risks a...

Globalization and taxation : theory and evidence

Jha, Priyaranjan; Gozgor, Giray - 2019

We construct a theoretical model to capture the compensation and efficiency effects of globalization in a set up where … globalization- trade liberalization and financial openness- could potentially have different effects on taxation. We then provide … some empirical evidence on the relationship between taxation and the alternative modes of globalization using a large cross …
