We present a model in which shadow banking arises endogenously and undermines market discipline on traditional banks. Demandable deposits impose market discipline: Without shadow banking, traditional banks optimally pursue a safe portfolio strategy to prevent early withdrawals. Shadow banking...

Using an instrument-based definition of shadow banking, we investigate the size and evolution over time of the shadow banking system. We investigate data on Asset Backed Commercial Paper and Securitized Real Estate Loan with an original approach. By means of several advanced and refined...

This paper documents how traditional and shadow banks interacted with one another during the 2007 financial crisis, when both assets and liabilities flew from shadow to traditional banks. To rationalize their behavior, we propose a simple model which demonstrates the symbiotic coexistence and...
