| Tiivistelmä: | The paper investigates the incentives of a regulator to close depository institutions, recognizing that an institution's risk taking will be influenced by the regulator' policy regarding bank closure and that there are opportunity costs in closing banks arising from their intermediation function. The regulator focuses not on the current portfolio of the bank, but on the bank's future portfolio. Even if the regulator seeks to maximize welfare, the first best is not obtainable because the regulator is unable to credibly commit to certain policies regarding closure. |
