14 The Changing U.S. Bank Size Distribution Growing concentration of U.S. BHC assets starting in the 1990s Why did big banks get bigger?
15 Three Literatures 1. Changes in the banking industry and in bank size Janicki and Prescott (2006) Wheelock and Wilson (2012) Lucas (2013) 2. Idiosyncratic risk/random growth and power laws Gabaix (1999, 2009) 3. Idiosyncratic risk as a potential source of aggregate volatility, especially when combined with complex and opaque interlinkages Gabaix (2011), Acemoglu et al. (2012), Caballero and Simsek (2013) One of the main contributions is to unify and extend these literatures via a purely empirical investigation of the changing U.S. bank size distribution Idiosyncratic volatility as a shaping force of power law distributions
16 Empirical Methods for Dynamic Power Law Distributions Nonparametric approach applied to distribution of bank assets Provides simple description of stable distribution: bank asset concentration = idiosyncratic asset volatilities reversion rates of assets Reversion rates measure cross-sectional mean reversion By estimating the changing values of the idiosyncratic volatilities and reversion rates, can answer the two questions: 1. What caused these changes in the past? 2. What can we learn from the drivers of the size distribution?
17 Findings U.S. Bank Holding Company asset concentration: Increased asset concentration a result of lower reversion rates Idiosyncratic volatilities are actually lower for BHCs Bigger banks are not necessarily riskier banks Even though BHCs are bigger, one source of risk has declined Acemoglu et al. (2012), Carvalho and Gabaix (2013)
18 Basics Economy is populated by N banks, time t [0, ) is continuous Total assets of each bank given by process a i : M d log a i (t) = µ i (t) dt + δ iz (t) db z (t) z=1 B 1,..., B M are independent Brownian motions (M N) Nonparametric approach with little structure imposed on µi and δ iz More general than previous random growth literature based on equal growth rates and volatilities of Gibrat s Law (Gabaix, 1999, 2009)
19 Rank-Based Asset Dynamics and Local Times Let a (k) (t) be the total assets of the k-th largest bank: M d log a (k) (t) = µ pt(k)(t) dt + δ pt(k)z(t) db z (t) z= dλ log a (k) log a (k+1) (t) 1 2 dλ log a (k 1) log a (k) (t) p t (k) = i when bank i is the k-th largest bank Λ x is the local time at 0 for the process x Measures amount of time x spends near 0 (Karatzas and Shreve, 1991)
20 Rank-Based Asset Dynamics and Local Times Let a (k) (t) be the total assets of the k-th largest bank: M d log a (k) (t) = µ pt(k)(t) dt + δ pt(k)z(t) db z (t) z= dλ log a (k) log a (k+1) (t) 1 2 dλ log a (k 1) log a (k) (t) p t (k) = i when bank i is the k-th largest bank Λ x is the local time at 0 for the process x Measures amount of time x spends near 0 (Karatzas and Shreve, 1991) Let θ (k) (t) be share of total assets held by k-th largest bank: θ (k) (t) = a (k)(t) a(t) a (k) (t) = a 1 (t) + + a N (t)
21 Relative Growth Rates and Volatilities M d log a (k) (t) = µ pt(k)(t) dt + δ pt(k)z(t) db z (t) + local time terms z=1 Let α k be the relative growth rate of the k-th largest bank, 1 T ( α k = lim µpt(k)(t) µ(t) ) dt, T T 0 where µ(t) is growth rate of total assets a(t) = a 1 (t) + + a N (t). Let σ k be the volatility of relative asset holdings log θ (k) log θ (k+1), σk 2 = lim 1 T T T 0 M ( δpt(k)z(t) δ ) 2 pt(k+1)z(t) dt. z=1
22 Reversion Rates and Idiosyncratic Volatilities Refer to α k as reversion rates of asset holdings Equal to minus the growth rate of assets for rank k bank relative to growth rate of total assets of all banks (cross-sectional mean reversion) Regulatory and competition policy, mergers and acquisitions (Kroszner and Strahan, 1999, 2014), and the preferences, constraints, and strategic choices that drive asset growth (Corbae and D Erasmo, 2013) Parameters σ k measure idiosyncratic bank asset volatility Unanticipated changes in liabilities and defaults cause by shocks to borrowers production technology (Corbae and D Erasmo, 2013) One potential source of contagion (Acemoglu et al., 2012)
23 Theorem (Bank Size Distribution) There is a stable distribution of bank assets in this economy if and only if α α k < 0, for k = 1,..., N 1. Furthermore, if there is a stable distribution, then for k = 1,..., N 1, this distribution satisfies [ ] E log ˆθ (k) (t) log ˆθ (k+1) (t) = σ 2 k 4(α α k ). Stable distribution entirely determined by two factors 1. Idiosyncratic asset volatilities: σ k 2. Reversion rates of asset holdings: α k Theorem describes behavior of stable versions of asset shares, ˆθ (k)
24 Theorem (Bank Size Distribution) There is a stable distribution of bank assets in this economy if and only if α α k < 0, for k = 1,..., N 1. Furthermore, if there is a stable distribution, then for k = 1,..., N 1, this distribution satisfies [ ] E log ˆθ (k) (t) log ˆθ (k+1) (t) = σ 2 k 4(α α k ). Stable distribution entirely determined by two factors 1. Idiosyncratic asset volatilities: σ k 2. Reversion rates of asset holdings: α k Only a change in these factors can alter the distribution Consider a transition from one stable distribution to another
25 Idiosyncratic Volatility, Reversion Rates, and Concentration Idiosyncratic Volatility σ k Low Asset Concentration Shares of Total Assets θ(k) Low Asset Concentration Sum of Reversion Rates (α α k) Rank k [ ] E log ˆθ (k) (t) log ˆθ (k+1) (t) = σ 2 k 4(α α k )
26 Idiosyncratic Volatility, Reversion Rates, and Concentration Idiosyncratic Volatility σ k Medium Asset Concentration Low Asset Concentration Shares of Total Assets θ(k) Medium Asset Concentration Low Asset Concentration Sum of Reversion Rates (α α k) Rank k [ ] E log ˆθ (k) (t) log ˆθ (k+1) (t) = σ 2 k 4(α α k )
27 Idiosyncratic Volatility, Reversion Rates, and Concentration High Asset Concentration High Asset Concentration Idiosyncratic Volatility σ k Medium Asset Concentration Low Asset Concentration Shares of Total Assets θ(k) Medium Asset Concentration Low Asset Concentration Sum of Reversion Rates (α α k) Rank k [ ] E log ˆθ (k) (t) log ˆθ (k+1) (t) = σ 2 k 4(α α k )
28 Relation to Previous Literature Rank-based, nonparametric approach nests much of previous literature Gibrat s law: Growth rates and volatilities equal for all agents Gabaix (2009) shows that Gibrat s law yields a Pareto distribution Gabaix (1999) shows that Gibrat s law sometimes yields Zipl s law Gibrat s law: α = α 1 = = α N 1 and σ = σ 1 = = σ N 1 This implies that [ E log ˆθ (k) (t) log ˆθ ] (k+1) (t) = σ 2 k 4(α α k ) = σ2 4kα
29 Gibrat s Law and Pareto Distributions Rank-based, nonparametric approach nests much of previous literature Gibrat s law: Growth rates and volatilities equal for all agents Gabaix (2009) shows that Gibrat s law yields a Pareto distribution Gabaix (1999) shows that Gibrat s law sometimes yields Zipl s law Gibrat s law: α = α 1 = = α N 1 and σ = σ 1 = = σ N 1 Log-log plot of shares θ (k) vs. rank k has constant slope (Pareto) [ ] E log ˆθ (k) (t) log ˆθ (k+1) (t) log k log k + 1 = kσ2 4kα = σ2 4α
30 Gibrat s Law and Zipf s Law Rank-based, nonparametric approach nests much of previous literature Gibrat s law: Growth rates and volatilities equal for all agents Gabaix (2009) shows that Gibrat s law yields a Pareto distribution Gabaix (1999) shows that Gibrat s law sometimes yields Zipl s law Gibrat s law: α = α 1 = = α N 1 and σ = σ 1 = = σ N 1 Log-log plot of shares θ (k) vs. rank k has slope -1 (Zipf s law) [ ] E log ˆθ (k) (t) log ˆθ (k+1) (t) log k log k + 1 = kσ2 4kα = σ2 4α = 1 iff σ2 = 4α
31 Top k Banks at time t θ (1) (t) θ (2) (t) Top k Banks at time t + 1 θ (1) (t + 1) θ (2) (t + 1).... θ (k) (t) θ (k) (t + 1) θ (k+1) (t) θ (k+1) (t + 1) θ (k+2) (t) θ (k+2) (t + 1).... θ (N) (t) θ (N) (t + 1)
32 . θ (k) (t)... θ (k) (t + 1)..
33 . θ pt(k)(t) = θ (k) (t).. θ pt(j)(t) = θ (j) (t).. θ pt(j)(t + 1) = θ (k) (t + 1). θ pt(k)(t + 1)...
34 Bank Holding Companies Entity Level Data Estimate volatility and reversion rates on bank level data set: Bank-holding companies ( ) FR Y9-C: publically available Quarterly data on total assets 500 largest included BHCs own commercial banks and thrifts
35 Estimation: Reversion Rates It can be shown that for all k = 1,..., N 1, the reversion rates α k are increasing in the quantity log [ θ pt+1 (1)(t + 1) + + θ pt+1 (k)(t + 1) ] log [ θ pt(1)(t + 1) + + θ pt(k)(t + 1) ]. Reversion rates measure the intensity of mean reversion, since they are increasing in the difference between the time t + 1 assets of the largest banks at t + 1 and the time t + 1 assets of the largest banks at t.
36 Estimation: Idiosyncratic Volatilities Idiosyncratic volatilities measure variance of relative asset holdings for adjacent ranked banks, log θ (k) log θ (k+1) More general definition than is common in economics and finance Discrete-time approximation yields σ 2 k = 1 T T [( log θpt(k)(t + 1) log θ pt(k+1)(t + 1) ) t=1 ( log θ pt(k)(t) log θ pt(k+1)(t) )] 2
37 When Did the Bank Size Distribution Start Transitioning? No standard techniques for determining when a transition starts Estimate parameters α k and σ k for different transition start dates Find date that minimizes the distance between predicted shares (before and after the transition) and those observed in the data For each date, smooth estimated parameters αk and σ k to achieve best possible fit
38 When Did the Bank Size Distribution Start Transitioning? 0.46 Root Mean Squared Error Q Year
39 Idiosyncratic Volatilities: Bank-Holding Companies 30 More Volatility 1986 Q Q Q Q3 Sigma (%) Rank Figure: Standard deviations of idiosyncratic asset volatilities (σ k ) for different ranked BHCs.
40 Reversion Rates: Bank-Holding Companies 0.5 More Mean Reversion 0.0 Alpha (%) Q Q Q Q Rank Figure: Minus the reversion rates (α k ) for different ranked BHCs.
41 Interpreting the Results Idiosyncratic asset volatilities decreased for bank-holding companies Cross-sectional mean reversion also decreased and this is why BHC assets still grew more concentrated
42 Interpreting the Results Why did mean reversion decrease for bank-holding companies? Repeal of Glass-Steagall Act (Lucas, 2013), changes in scale economies (Wheelock & Wilson, 2012), end of inter-state branching restrictions Industry concentration, interlinkages, contagion, and aggregate risk Gabaix (2011), Acemoglu et al. (2012), Caballero and Simsek (2013) Bigger banks are not necessarily riskier banks One source of contagion idiosyncratic risk has diminished, even as another more obvious source concentration has intensified

72 The Future of the U.S. Bank Size Distribution Empirical approach allows for an analysis of the future U.S. bank size distribution as well Compare predicted shares to observed shares after transition start date If predicted shares show more concentration than is observed, then transition is likely not complete expect further asset concentration If predicted shares match observed, then transition is likely complete How well do these nonparametric empirical methods match the data?
