ABSTRACT We investigate the relationship between global geopolitical risk and bank deposit flows across a wide panel of European countries. Motivated by the pivotal role of deposit stability for financial intermediation and systemic resilience, we explore whether geopolitical shocks alter depositors’ portfolio choices.

Abstract We investigate if the decentralized structure of regulatory office networks influences supervisory outcomes and bank behavior. Following the closure of an office, banks previously supervised by that office increase their lending and risk‐taking.

Unravelling the Insolvency Exception
In European private international law, a distinction between insolvency-related and non-insolvency-related proceedings is drawn. However, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the delimitation between these regimes has been widely

Bank Opacity and Safe Asset Moneyness
Abstract A bank is more effective as a supplier of money‐like safe assets when (i) its return on equity (ROE) is relatively lower and (ii) it is relatively more opaque about its balance sheet. A model is presented to support this, emphasizing that safe asset investors focus on the left tail of the collateral value distribution.

Furthermore, state‐contingent deposit contracts do not expand the consumption possibility set to include the first best either. Central banks can improve welfare but only for savers and only with unconventional monetary policy. Finally,

Twin Defaults and Bank Capital Requirements
ABSTRACT We examine optimal capital requirements in a quantitative general equilibrium model with banks exposed to nondiversifiable borrower default risk. Contrary to standard models of bank default risk, our framework captures the limited upside, but significant downside risk of loan portfolio returns.

Abstract We theorize how state ownership reweights organizational objectives when political and market conditions shift. Using a mixed‐method, history‐to‐theory design, we examine 160 state‐owned and 132 private Brazilian firms from 1973 to 1993. We argue that two mechanisms – appointment politicization and constituency‐protection salience – alter ...
