Abstract: | This article studies a series of different possible closure rules and subsidy policies that bank regulators may apply. The article derives the optimal closure rule of a social-planner regulator that balanced the slump-sum costs of bankruptcy against the costs of monitoring a bank that continues to operate. In certain sircumstances the authorities will wish to postpone closure of the bank until after the point at which equity-holders are willing to keep the bank liquid by injecting capital. Subsidy policies are examined that keep the bank operating even when equity-holders are disinclined to inject more capital. The article also examines the impact of subsidy policies on moral hazard problems in particular asset substitution by the bank's mangers or equity-holders. |
