1 The Shadow Cost of Bank Capital Requirements Roni Kisin Washington University in St. Louis Asaf Manela Washington University in St. Louis April 2015
2 How Costly Are Capital Requirements for Banks? Banks private costs shape regulation, but they have not been measured empirically
3 Revealed Preference Approach Banks used a costly ABCP loophole to bypass capital constraints (Acharya, Schnabl, and Suarez, 2013) Banks trade off the benefit of reduced capital vs. the cost of the loophole Loophole usage reveals the shadow costs of capital requirements (Anderson and Sallee, 2011)
4 The Loophole: Asset-backed Commercial Paper Conduits ABCP stops rolling over before assets stop performing, but conduit assets are not counted toward regulatory assets (10% after 2004)
5 The Loophole: Conduit Assets and Capital Requirements US Banks are considered well-capitalized by their regulator if 1. Leverage ratio = 2. Tier 1 risk-based ratio = 3. Total risk-based ratio = Tier 1 capital 3% to 5% Average Total Assets Tier 1 capital Risk-weighted Assets 6% Total risk based capital Risk-weighted Assets 10% Banks hold the assets, without decreasing capital ratios
6 Who Used the Loophole? 18 US bank holding companies (out of 2, 500+) About 100 times larger than the average BHC 60% of US total bank assets
7 Loophole Usage Reveals the Shadow Cost max r,k,θ Π = j [r j c (k) αθ] q j (r) I (θ > 0) F s.t. regulatory capital constraint: K (q, k, θ) σ Π σ 1 Q = λ α K θ For banks with interior solution θ (0, 1) }{{} α = λk θ λ = α }{{} K θ cost benefit θ share of assets in ABCP α incremental marginal cost of loophole use k true (economic) capital ratio
8 Sufficient Conditions for Identification For banks with interior solution θ (0, 1) }{{} α = λk θ λ = α }{{} K θ cost benefit C1 Constrained banks exploit the loophole C2 Constrained banks do not exhaust the loophole (θ (0, 1)) C3 Marginal borrowers do not value loans financed with ABCP conduits differently from those financed with other sources

19 Range of Aggregate Effects on Profits (Fig 9) Tier 1 Risk Based Ratio (Mil.) Baseline Estimate Upper Bound M&M with Taxes
20 Discussion λ is an individual marginal compliance cost of a small increase in capital requirements in equilibrium Marginal compliance costs are first-order effects on profits of a small increase in capital requirements What about substantial changes?
21 Discussion: Substantial Changes in Capital Requirements If indirect profits are non-increasing and weakly convex in σ, then the marginal cost is an upper bound for the total cost. (sufficient condition) Holds, for example, if capital requirements reduce the tax benefit of debt (M&M) if government guarantees of debt are important (Merton, 1977) if credit demand is convex enough (Kashyap et al., 2010)
22 How Can the Costs Be So Modest? The aggregate cost is $220 million per year, with an upper bound of about $1 billion These are effects on profits during an economic expansion, after banks use all available tools to mitigate the impact Banks either neutralize or overstate the effect of capital requirements on cost of capital
23 Alternative Definitions of a Binding Constraint Fig. 7: Estimates increase only slightly as we focus on banks closer to threshold.0045 Shadow Cost of Tier 1 Risk Based Ratio Constraint.004 N = N = 214 N = 252 N = 268 N = 279 N = 286 N = 291 N = 293 N = Distance from Tier 1 Risk Based Ratio Constraint 95% Confidence Interval Mean Shadow Cost Median Shadow Cost
24 Risk Weighting of Conduit Assets Fig. 8: Estimates are 50% smaller if most assets have high risk-weights to 150% larger for the lowest risk-weight Average Effect on Profits Risk Weighting of ABCP Assets Fin CP, Extended Model Benchmark Estimate Fed Funds Rate, Extended Model Benchmark Estimate
25 Potential Value from ABCP Financing If the ABCP arrangement created additional value for banks, our benchmark would overestimate the shadow cost Suppose ABCP financing reduce the marginal cost by γ > 0. Shadow cost becomes λ = α K θj γ K θj
26 Conclusion 1 pp increase costs $220 million per year in aggregate, with an upper bound of about $1 billion Latest revision of US bank regulation increased capital requirements by similar amounts We expect a hardly noticeable effect on bank profitability Our approach could be applied more broadly to study regulation of financial intermediaries and provides calibration targets for structural macroeconomic models
27 Related Literature We show how bank capital regulation loopholes can be used to produce estimates of its shadow cost Hasnon, Kashyap and Stein (2011): M&M with taxes Baker and Wurgler (2013): implication of low-risk anomaly Macro-finance studies of constrained financial intermediaries Koijen and Yogo (2013): the shadow cost of statutory reserve regulation for life insurers Loophole approach avoids fully specifying the competitive equilibrium and estimating demand elasticities, markups, etc. Recent calibrations can use our estimates as calibration target Begenau (2014) Gornall and Strebulaev (2014) Nguyen (2014)
28 Appendix Risk-weighted Assets Risk weight w j applied to each asset of risk group j Four major risk weights groups: 0% (cash) 20% (OECD sovereign debt) 50% (residential mortgages) 100% (corporate loans) Securitized assets get % weights based on ratings Conversion factor β [0, 1] converts off-balance sheet items Leverage ratio denominator is on-balance sheet assets (w = 100%, β = 0)
29 Appendix Role of ABCP loophole was widely recognized at the time If the bank were to provide a direct corporate loan, even one secured by the same assets, it would appear on the bank s balance sheet as an asset and the bank would be obligated to maintain regulatory capital for it. An ABCP program permits the Sponsor (i.e., the commercial bank) to offer receivable financing services to its customers without using the Sponsor s balance sheet or holding incremental regulatory capital. Moody s (2003) "We don t simply look at the assets, although we do due diligence. We know the sponsors, the entity. But we also look through to the liquidity support providers. And we wouldn t buy any asset-backed commercial paper conduit unless we re 100 percent sure that they are fully supported by a bank institution." Steven Meier, Chief Investment Officer, State Street
