| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the incentive problem between a bank and depositors: limited liability makes risk-shifting lucrative. The author shows how intertemporal diversification of lending decisions - i. e. bank's loan portfolio consists of overlapping long-term loans and is thus gradually renewed - may solve the incentive problem of risk shifting. A new bank sets a high-equity level and acquires depositors' confidence. Maturity mismathch - illiquidity of long-term loans and liquidity of deposits - is optimal. |
