In particular, following calls from prior research, I investigate the effects of reporting opacity on this critical source of bank financing, which represents over $5 trillion at 2019. Using quarterly regulatory filings of federally-insured US commercial banks, I confirm a predicted negative association between uninsured deposits and larger delays in expected loss recognition, my proxy for reporting opacity. I also document expected cross-sectional variation, with this negative association accentuated for banks that are not too-big-to-fail (as these lack the implicit government guarantees of too-big-to-fail banks), and some evidence for banks that are not publicly-traded (which have lower overall reporting and disclosure quality relative to publicly-traded banks). The results are consistent with monitoring by uninsured depositors, such that stronger reporting transparency enables banks to attract higher levels of uninsured deposits.","PeriodicalId":275096,"journal":{"name":"Monetary Economics: Financial System & Institutions eJournal","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123622841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results are consistent with the view that non-banks extract rents from borrowers as the lenders of last resort. The leveraged lending guidance, which resulted in the migration of borrowers from banks to non-banks, led to worse outcomes for the leveraged borrowers, complementing our cross-sectional analysis. Our findings suggest that macroprudential policies which exclusively target the traditional banking sector can have negative consequences.","PeriodicalId":275096,"journal":{"name":"Monetary Economics: Financial System & Institutions eJournal","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122407322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that SEOs do not generate value benefits for systemically risky issuers. In contrast, non-issuers’ stock returns react positively when systemically risky banks raise equity, although less so in times of systemic distress. The benefits for non-issuers are amplified by more business similarity with the systemically risky issuer and sustain in the longer term. Our findings reflect positive systemic externalities from a reduced deleveraging risk of the issuer. Overall, our analysis justifies regulatory pressure on systemically risky banks to implement countercyclical recapitalization through SEOs, especially in more homogenous banking systems.","PeriodicalId":275096,"journal":{"name":"Monetary Economics: Financial System & Institutions eJournal","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133346931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our work advances on previous studies that only use national or state level data, as we create bank-specific measures of local unemployment in which the bank has exposure. Using these novel measures, we can determine how shocks to unemployment affect each individual bank's profitability. Our results indicate that an increase in the local market unemployment rate decreases bank profitability on average by 2.9%. We further examine what components of bank profitability are most impacted by local labor market conditions and find that net interest income is most impacted.","PeriodicalId":275096,"journal":{"name":"Monetary Economics: Financial System & Institutions eJournal","volume":"120 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120916441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reference firms are also less likely to terminate loans prematurely or refinance with different lenders after the inception of CDS trading and tend to exhibit longer loan maturities. Our evidence is consistent with the empty creditor problem arising from CDS trading and the resulting decrease in the negotiation power of borrowers. Our research contributes to understanding how financial innovations alter bank-lending relationships.","PeriodicalId":275096,"journal":{"name":"Monetary Economics: Financial System & Institutions eJournal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132263683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that Islamic and conventional banks in stronger religiosity area provide more financing. However, the impact of religiosity is less pronounced for non-performing financing. The results are still qualitatively valid after taking into account the issues of omitted variables, i.e., un-observable beliefs, ideas, and attitude, and reverse causality between religiosity and total amount of financing at province level.","PeriodicalId":275096,"journal":{"name":"Monetary Economics: Financial System & Institutions eJournal","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130524165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine whether no relation between accounting quality and investment efficiency remains valid in Japan beyond their study period, which ends in 2001. We hypothesize that since Japan experienced a dramatic decline in bank financing and keiretsu affiliations after 2001, when the Act on Limitation on Shareholding by Banks and Other Financial Institutions became effective, accounting quality became positively related to investment efficiency in Japan after 2001. Consistent with our hypothesis, we find a positive impact of accounting quality on investment efficiency in the post-2001 period. We also find that higher accounting quality improves investment efficiency by reducing the tendency of over-investment. This impact is more pronounced among firms with lower bank financing and lower cross-shareholdings.","PeriodicalId":275096,"journal":{"name":"Monetary Economics: Financial System & Institutions eJournal","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132562328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
