Is this really the ‘most dangerous man in Germany’?IWHThe Spectator, August 23, 2026
This paper investigates the impact of ample liquidity provision by the European Central Bank on the functioning of the overnight unsecured interbank market from 2008 to 2014.
We examine the impact of bank-loan supply shocks on firm outcomes and bank risk-taking employing bank-firm matched credit information for the period 2002-2012.
We study loan conditions when bank branches close and firms subsequently transfer to a branch of another bank in the vicinity.
We examine how state ownership of banks may have contributed to the ascent to power of Vladimir Putin during the Russian presidential elections of March 2000.
Using unique firm-level data across 48 developing countries and 36 manufacturing industries, we gauge the importance of international banks’ presence for promoting entrepreneurship, as measured by business formation.
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.
