Abstract: | This article examines the relationship between deposit insurance, debt-holder monitoring, and risk taking. The model is tested using EU bank level data and it yields evidence consistent with the model, indicating that explicit deposit insurance may serve as a commitment device to limit the safety net and permit monitoring by uninsured subordinated debt-holders. |
