Global Banking: Endogenous Competition and Risk Taking Ester Faia and Gianmarco Ottaviano Goethe University Frankfurt, CEPR and CFS, London School of Economics, Bocconi University and CEPR 11 December, Banque de France 11 December, Banque de France 1 /
Motivation Banks decision to globalize: bene ts of competition versus costs of risk taking Rajan 5: risks of nance globalization IMF report 15 and other empirical evidence: 1. Cross-border lending (prior to 7) increased risk taking. After 8: new business model "bricks and mortar" 3. Discipline role of local competition (long run)! reduces risk taking Faia, Ottaviano, Sanchez-Arjona (17): collected dataset on GSIBs 11 December, Banque de France /
Main Channels in Our Model 1 Oligopsony (Cournot) in deposit market: Allen and Gale (4) - Banks entrance: higher deposit competition (with deposit insurance)!search for yield Oligopoly (Cournot) in loan markets: Boyd and De Nicolo (5) - Banks entrance: lowers loan rates!reduces rms risk-shifting/risk-taking incentives (Stiglitz and Weiss 1981) 3 Predatory lending: entry and monitoring costs! banks reduces rates more aggressively to gain market shares (scale e ect) 4 Industry Dynamic: endogenous entry/exogenous exit (Hopenhayn 199, Ericson and Pakes 1995)! charter values increase with market shares! enhance and 3 11 December, Banque de France 3 /
Main Results Globalization (lower monitoring costs or positive productivity shock):!reduce banks margins (higher deposit rates, lower loan rates)!increase scale of credit, which reduces loan rates (strategic complementarities.)!reduce rms risk-shifting and risk-taking 11 December, Banque de France 4 /
Extensions Asymmetric productivity shocks: scope for diversi cation!risk declines Cross-border lending: risk-taking is higher! Vertical integration as opposed to horizontal structure (scale is smaller than margin) Correlated risk (Vasicek factor; Martinez-Miera and Repullo 14): con rm model results Endogenous exit: heterogenous deposit withdrawals and exit cost!higher exit: less active banks, lower credit scale, higher risk-taking 11 December, Banque de France 5 /
Banks Dynamics and Entry Decision Banks enter two markets, entry barrier κ = κ b + κ d, ξ deposit insurance costs, foreign market monitoring costs µ > Endogenous entry and exogenous exit: N a t,h = N t 1,H + N e t,h = N t,h 1 ϱ. Banks compare entry costs with discounted pro ts: Π t = E t ϱ)) z=t(β(1 z t (Π t,hh + Π t,hf ). Entry implies: V t = Π t,hh + Π t,hf + β(1 ϱ)e t fv t+1 g = κ, 11 December, Banque de France 6 /

Firms projects: - yielding a t rh,t I with probability p(r H,t I, a t) and otherwise - Success probability falls with project returns and raises with aggregate productivity Total loans L T H = L HH + L FH,, demand for loans rh L = r L L T H increasing and convex!important: rates depend on aggregate loans (strategic complementarities) D T t 11 December, Banque de France 7 /
Firms (in each destination market) Moral hazard: banks do not observe rms choice of projects Risk neutral rms choose r I t (the risk-return pro le) to max pro t: p(r I H, a)(ar I H r L H ), FOC: p(rh I, a)a p 1 (rh I, a) + ar H I = r L L T H, Higher loan rates (risk-shifting)! more aggressive returns pro les p = 1 αr L 11 December, Banque de France 8 /

Equilibrium and Parametrization Functional forms: r L t Dt T = a t α β 1 Dt T with β 1 >, rt D (Dt T ) = γdt T with γ >. We also assume that investment projects succeed with probability p(rt I at 1 αrt, a t ) = I for rt I [, 1/α] otherwise Parameters calibrated on micro data or estimated to match second moments on entry and exit (Claessens and Van Horen 15) 11 December, Banque de France 1 /

Endogenous Entry Distribution of Deposits withdrawals. Endogenous exit rate: 1 eϱ t = 1 Φ(eλ t ) The exit region is then given by: where eπ t = p(l T t, a t ) eπ t = p(l T t, a t ) rt L ev t = eπ t + eπ t + (1 eϱ t )E t n e V t+1 o = κ exit t r D t r L t r D t eλ t eλ t ξ µ ξ d t and d t Results: exit is more likely, less active banks, less credit!more risk 11 December, Banque de France 18 /
Correlated Risk Project outcome determined by the realization of a random variable y i de ned as: y i = Φ 1 (1 p i ) + p ρz + p 1 ρε i, Probability of portfolio failure rises (despite lower probability of individual loans default) when: d ln L T d ln N a + d ln m(lt ) d ln N a < 1. The fall in the margin shall be strong enough to o set the increase in the scale 11 December, Banque de France 19 /
