We employ proprietary data from a large bank to analyze how - during crisis - deposit insurance affects depositor behavior. Our focus is on Belgium where the government increased explicit deposit insurance coverage and implemented implicit deposit insurance arrangements. Estimating sorting below...

We employ proprietary data from a large bank to analyze how – in times of crisis – depositors react to a bank nationalization, re-privatization and an accompanying increase in deposit insurance. Nationalization slows depositors fleeing the bank, provided they have sufficient trust in the...

While the first two pillars of the European Banking Union have been implemented, a European deposit insurance scheme (EDIS) is still not in place. To facilitate its introduction, recent proposals argue in favor of a reinsurance scheme. In this paper, we use a regime-switching open-economy DSGE...

Recent proposals for a still missing European deposit insurance scheme (EDIS) argue in favor of a reinsurance framework. In this paper, we use a regime-switching open-economy DSGE model with bank default to assess the relative efficiency of such a scheme. We find that reinsurance by EDIS is more...

Since the March 2023 banking turmoil, a policy debate has emerged concerning the unprecedented scale and speed of the observed deposit outflows. Have recent stress episodes and developments in technology structurally changed depositors' behaviour? Are the Basel III liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)...

This paper examines market discipline of Australian credit unions, and the impacts of the global financial crisis and the 2008 deposit guarantee scheme. The prior literature has focused on the market discipline of banks rather than credit unions. Using a unique sample of 204 Australian credit...

Using a large panel of US bank holding companies from 2001 to 2015, this study investigate how depositors respond to the bank's discretionary behaviors. We document evidence of a higher deposit rates for banks that engage more in earnings management, suggesting the evidence of market discipline....

In emerging countries, deposits play an important role in banks' total funding; hence depositor discipline may impact significantly banking performance and the financial system's stability. My paper investigates the reaction of bank depositors to interest rates as well as signs of banks' risk,...

In early 2009 the EU increased the minimum deposit insurance limit from €20,000 to €100,000 per bank account. Italy was the only country with a limit already set to €103,291 from 1994. To evaluate the impact of the new directive we run a diff-in-diff analysis and compare the bank-size...

We study capital regulation in a dynamic banking model with non-maturing deposits. Optimal withdrawals of depositors make bank deposits endogenously long-term. Capital regulation addresses deposit dilution but is subject to a time-inconsistency problem. Comparing the optimal policies of...
