We quantify the gains from regulating maturity transformation in a model of banks which finance long-term assets with non-tradable debt. Banks choose the amount and maturity of their debt trading off investors’ preference for short maturities with the risk of systemic crises. Pecuniary...

Using a novel cross-European dataset on bank internationalization, the paper accounts for both organizational and geographic complexity and evaluates its impact on systemic risk and how both the 2008–09 global financial crisis and the 2010–11 European sovereign debt crisis might have...

The establishment of the European Banking Union in 2014 created a large banking market in Europe, making it easier for banks to straddle borders and expand their business to other European countries.
