Hayek (1984,1990) suggested an alternative to the current fiat money regime, which entails concurrent banks who issue their own money and operators concerned of purchasing power who select the less inflated money. Friedman (1984) opposed that network effects dominate purchasing power...

We study the effects on credit allocation and bank stability of introducing a leverage ratio requirement (LRR) on top of risk-based capital requirements, as in Basel III. For the current 3% LRR, both low-risk and high-risk loan rates and volumes remain essentially unchanged, because banks...

Basel III has introduced a non-risk-weighted leverage ratio requirement (LRR) which complements the internal ratings based (IRB) capital requirements. It provides a backstop against model risk which arises if some loans get incorrectly rated and become toxic. We study the effects of the LRR on...

I propose a measure of adjusted leverage as a proxy for the pricing kernel of a representative financial intermediary. Using a simple theoretical framework with information production, I show that in states of the world where credit outstanding in the economy is low, financial leverage is not an...
