We integrate Basel II (and III) regulations into the industrial organization approach to banking and analyze lending behavior and risk sensitivity of a risk-neutral bank. The bank is exposed to credit risk and may use credit default swaps (CDS) for hedging purposes. Regulation is found to induce...

We integrate Basel II (and III) regulations into the industrial organization approach to banking and analyze the interaction between capital adequacy regulation and credit risk transfer with credit default swaps (CDS) including its effect on lending behavior and risk sensitivity of a...

In the framework of the industrial economics approach to banking we extend the analysis of hedging against default on loans to the case of two types of credit risk. Standard results on the optimal hedge volume and the hedging effectivity from the single?risk case are shown to carry over to the...

The industrial organization approach to the microeconomics of banking augmented by uncertainty and risk aversion is used to examine credit derivatives and macro derivatives as instruments to hedge credit risk for a large com- mercial bank. In a partial-analytic framework we distinguish between...

Using the industrial organization approach to the microeconomics of banking we model a large (Monti-Klein) bank which is risk neutral and faces credit uncertainty in its loan business. The impact of capital adequacy regulation and the effect of changes in risk on deposit and loan rates are...

In einem einfach gehaltenen Bankmodell untersucht der Beitrag die ökonomischen Wirkungen des Einsatzes von Derivaten für marktgängige und nicht marktgängige Risiken. Wir betrachten das klassische Kredit– und Einlagengeschäft einer kompetitiven Bank. Sind Kreditausfall- und...

In diesem Beitrag wird die Einsatzmöglichkeit eines Kreditderivats vom Typ einer Kreditoption für eine Bank untersucht. Das Management des Kreditrisikos erfährt in jüngerer Zeit besondere Aufmerksamkeit. Gestiegenen Kreditausfallrisiken begegnen Kreditinstitute mehr und mehr durch die...

Using the industrial economics approach to the microeconomics of banking we analyze a large bank under credit risk. Our aim is to study how a risky loan portfolio affects optimal bank behavior in the loan and deposit markets, when credit derivatives to hedge credit risk are available. We examine...
