3 Motivation: Two Basic Facts 1 Primary objective of macroprudential policy: aligning financial system resilience with systemic risk to promote the real economy Systemic risk event Financial system resilience Market failures 2 Bank runs as a typical symptom of financial crises in history Gorton (2012) Reinhart and Rogoff (2009) Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

4 What I Did Developed a two-period general equilibrium model that features 1 Bank runs (systemic event) in a global game framework 2 Endogenous probability of bank runs (banking system resilience) 3 Market failures? Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

5 What I Did Developed a two-period general equilibrium model that features 1 Bank runs (systemic event) in a global game framework 2 Endogenous probability of bank runs (banking system resilience) 3 Market failures? Conducted welfare analyses and studied macroprudential instruments: Leverage restriction (capital requirement) Liquidity requirement Sectoral requirement Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

6 Main Results 1 Excessive bank leverage 2 Insufficient bank liquidity 3 Too high crisis (system-wide bank run) probability 4 Need for policy coordination; risk migration Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

7 Main Results 1 Excessive bank leverage 2 Insufficient bank liquidity 3 Too high crisis (system-wide bank run) probability 4 Need for policy coordination; risk migration 5 Sources of inefficiencies: limited liability + externality specific to a global game; pecuniary externaility Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

38 Excessive Bank Leverage Proposition (Excessive leverage) Suppose that the supply curve is upward sloping. Then, the bank leverage is excessive. Restricting bank leverage can improve social welfare. Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

39 Excessive Bank Leverage Proposition (Excessive leverage) Suppose that the supply curve is upward sloping. Then, the bank leverage is excessive. Restricting bank leverage can improve social welfare. Intuition: Average cost of bank default is endogenised, but, Marginal effect (cost) of leverage is underestimated due to limited liability and the global game setup Default cost pecuniary externality Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

40 Effects of Leverage Restrictions Competitive equilibrium: L = 10, P = 5% Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

41 Extended Model with Leverage and Liquidity Banks have an access to safe asset technology with gross return 1 Banks use safe assets in response to early withdrawals Trade-off: less return vs lower probability of bank runs Liquidity-deposit ratio m M/d Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

42 Extended Model with Leverage and Liquidity Banks have an access to safe asset technology with gross return 1 Banks use safe assets in response to early withdrawals Trade-off: less return vs lower probability of bank runs Liquidity-deposit ratio m M/d Proposition (Excessive leverage and insufficient liquidity) Given bank liquidity, bank leverage is excessive Given bank leverage, bank liquidity is insufficient Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

43 Leverage or Liquidity Requirements Only: Risk Migration Competitive equilibrium: L = 11.3, m = 0.12, P = 2.2% Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

44 Joint Effects of Leverage and Liquidity Requirements Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

45 Application 1: Sectoral Capital Requirements Two sectors and two types of banks Type-j bank specializes in lending to sector j {1, 2} Sector 2 is risker than sector 1 Competitive equilibrium: L 1 = 10.8, P 1 = 6.5%, L 2 = 7.7, P 2 = 9.6% Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

46 Effects of Sectoral Leverage Restrictions Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

47 Effects of Leverage Restrictions in One Sector Only Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

48 Application 2: Risk Taking One type of bank but two types of loans For simplicity, R k j N( R k, σ 2 R k ) for j {1, 2}. Loan portfolio [θ, 1 θ] on loans 1 and 2 Portfolio θ = 1/2 minimizes the risk (volatility) of bank loans Social optimum: θ = 1/2. Do banks choose θ = 1/2? Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27

49 Banks prefer a higher risk than the socially optimal level Ikeda (BoE) Bank Runs and Macroprudential Instruments 3 November / 27
