Does Interbank Borrowing Reduce Bank Risk?

چکیده
In this paper we investigate whether banks that borrow from other banks have lower risk levels. We concentrate on a large sample of Central and Eastern European banks which allows us to explore the impact of interbank lending when exposures are long-term and interbank borrowers are small banks. The results of the empirical analysis generally confirm the hypothesis that long-term interbank exposures result in lower risk of the borrowing banks.

An economic model of contagion in interbank lending markets
This paper examines the relationship between the structure of the interbank lending market and systemic risk. We consider a model in which banks finance investment opportunities through household deposits and borrowing from other banks. Using simulation techniques a range of interbank markets structures are considered. It is shown that greater levels of interbank connectivity reduce the risk of...

Abstract The current financial crisis highlights the need to develop DSGE models with real-financial linkages and an active banking sector. This paper proposes a fully micro-founded framework that incorporates optimizing banks, the interbank market, and the credit market into a DSGE model, and evaluates the role of banks and financial shocks in the U.S. business cycles. We assume two types of h...

This paper proposes a fully micro-founded framework that incorporates optimizing banks into a DSGE model, and evaluates the role of banks and financial shocks in the Iranian business cycles. We consider banks that offer different banking services and interact in an interbank market. Loans are produced using interbank borrowing and deposits. Banks have monopoly power, but cannot set nominal depo...
متن کاملDebtRank-transparency: Controlling systemic risk in financial networks
Nodes in a financial network, such as banks, cannot assess the true risks associated with lending to other nodes in the network, unless they have full information on the riskiness of all other nodes. These risks can be estimated by using network metrics (as DebtRank) of the interbank liability network. With a simple agent based model we show that systemic risk in financial networks can be drast...
متن کاملDoes the bank risk concentration freeze the interbank system?
Probably, one test of the stability of the banking system is to evaluate how risky assets are distributed across banks’ portfolios and the implications for the contagion via interbank relations. This paper explores theoretically a bank sector with risks concentration and the functioning of interbank markets. It employs a simple model where banks are exposed to both credit and liquidity risk tha...
