Abstract
This paper identifies a contemporaneous substitutional relationship between retail deposits and wholesale funds, while the lagged relationship between the two is rather weak-a finding consistent with our “stable capitalization hypothesis.” We find that this substitution effect is much more pronounced for banks facing retail deposit inflows compared to those facing outflows, suggesting that influxes of deposits allow banks to cut wholesale funding more aggressively to maintain their capital structures. This substitution effect is also negatively associated with wholesale funding maturity and riskiness. Furthermore, we show that the substitutional relationship is weaker during funding shocks such as the 2007-2009 financial crisis and that the substitution itself does not help banks maintain their lending, which supports the argument for a lender of last resort. Finally, we demonstrate that liquidity regulation curbs this substitution, which overall helps banks improve financial stability.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
