We estimate a dynamic structural banking model to examine the interaction between risk-weighted capital adequacy and unweighted leverage requirements, their differential impact on bank lending, and equity buffer accumulation in excess of regulatory minima. Tighter risk-weighted capital...

We relate the valuation dynamics of global systemically important banks (G-SIB) to levels of public sector corruption in their country of domicile. We show that G-SIB valuations benefitted from higher perceived public sector corruption before the global financial crisis (1998:Q1-2007:Q2), but...

We develop a model of bank risk-taking with strategic sovereign default risk. Domestic banks invest in real projects and purchase government bonds. While an increase in bond purchases crowds out profitable investments, it improves the government's incentives to repay and therefore lowers its...
