We discuss the implications of our results in the light of …In this paper, we introduce a model to study the interaction between insurance and banking. We build on the Federal …

Such disclosures came later after major concerns …This paper examines banks' disclosures and loss recognition in the financial crisis and identifies several core issues … about banks' exposures had arisen in markets.

banks do cross-subsidize unsecured lending through high credit insurance costs this behavior is not a universal practice … consumer lending and credit insurance was justified. This case has wide regulatory implications following international … concerns that the sale of credit insurance has been detrimental to customers due to overpriced credit insurance and a possible …

This paper studies the extent to which monetary policy may affect banks' perception of credit risk and the way banks … indicators on banks' risk weights for credit risk. We present robust evidence of the existence of the risk-taking channel in the … possible side-effects of monetary policy on how banks measure risk. …
