The German far right and the scars of reunificationOliver HoltemöllerFinancial Times, September 6, 2024
We analyze optimal capital regulation of imperfectly competitive banks that are confronted with competition from non-regulated banks. We characterize banks as having access to deposit insurance and underly banking regulation in exchange.
Existing empirical studies on the effect of monetary policy on bank lending almost exclusively focus on a closed economy setting and ignore the interactions between domestic monetary policy and international financial markets.
We identify the effects of exogenous credit constraints on firm ability to attract and retain skilled workers. To do so, we exploit a shock to the value of the pension obligations of Portuguese banks resulting from a change in accounting norms.
