1 Introduction Financial intermediaries, hereafter banks, perfom various socially useful functions. These include providing liquidity (Diamond and Dybvig, 1983), facilitating credit extension to fund productive investment (Diamond, 1984), and improving risk-sharing (Benston and Smith, 1976; Allen and Gale, 1997, 2004). Banks’ asset portfolio composition and liabilities structure interact to allow them to perform these services. However, these same interactions can also be a source of fragility. Transforming illiquid long-term assetsinto liquidshort-term claims, such as demandabledeposits, is desirable, but exposes banks to the possibility of a run which can be disastrous for the bank, its borrowersanditsdepositors. Likewise,fundingriskyloansthroughbothdebtandequityimproves risk-sharing (and potentially raises growth), but can lead to socially wasteful bankruptcy costs. Finally, the presence of short-term liabilities can generate better incentives for banks to monitor borrowers and honor their liabilities (Calomiris and Kahn, 1991; Diamond and Rajan, 2001), but createsrunriskthatlong-termfundingavoids. In this paper we expand the Diamond and Dybvig (1983) model of banking to incorporate all of the three aforementioned banking functions and explore whether private decisions result in an efficientlevelofintermediation. Ouranalysisisrelatedtotheemergingliteratureexploringoptimal macroprudentialregulationtoaddressvariousinefficiencies,suchasaggregatedemandexternalities in the presence of nominal rigidities (Farhi and Werning, 2016), pecuniary externalities operating throughcollateralconstraints(BianchiandMendoza,forthcoming)orfire-salesexternalities(Stein, 2012). However, our focus is different as we are interested in identifying externalities that pertain tobankschoicesassociatedwithendogenouscreditriskandrunrisk. Bankers have a comparative advantage at intermediating funds, but their incentives to monitor theirinvestmentcandifferfromtheirinvestorsduetoprivatebenefitsthatareavailabletothem. On onehand,afragilefundingstructureandrunriskcanbeoptimaltodisciplinethebankerandalign theincentivesformonitoring. Short-termdebtis,thus,preferredtolong-termfundingforitsdisciplining function even when both are able to provide liquidity services through retrading in capital markets. Ontheotherhand,afragilefundingstructurecanmisaligntheincentivesbetweenbankers and debt-holders in the presence of credit risk and, hence, result in both distorted asset holdings and a capital structure. Contrary to the case of pure run risk, equity financing has an advantage over short-term debt in dealing with externalities from the management of credit risk. Overall, run and credit risk endogenously interact to determine banks’ asset portfolio and capital structure, which, in turn, has implications for the level of intermediation and the allocation of benefits from intermediation. We make five modifications to the original Diamond-Dybvig model to capture the aforementionedinteractionofcreditandrunrisk.First,bankloansarerisky. Theriskarisesbecauseborrowers use the bank funding to invest in a technology whose payoff is uncertain and whose results are privateinformationfortheborrower. Because loans are risky, borrowers can default due to insufficient funds. This can potentially cause the bank to be unable to fully repay depositors who incur additional bankruptcy costs. Our 2
secondmodificationistoassumethatbothbanksandborrowersaresubjecttolimitedliability. Third, the private information about a borrower’s success leads banks to have to monitor the borrower. Thebanksarerunbybankerswhoseektomaximizethevalueofdividendstheyreceive fromthebanks. Absentmonitoringthebankersenjoyaprivatebenefit,butwithoutmonitoringtheir borrowerswillneverrepaytheirloans. Fourth, afullsetinstrumentstoinsureagainstallrisksintheenvironmentisunavailable. Both loan and deposit contracts cannot be made contingent on the aggregate realization of risks. As a result, credit risk occurs in equilibirium. Moreover, contracts can be incomplete such that not all actions of borrowers are ex-ante contractible. For example, a more comprehensive debt contract wouldnotonlyspecifyaninterestrateandadebtamount, butalsothecompositionandamountof assetsthatcanbeseizedifdefaultoccurs. Likewise,bankerschoosehowmuchequitytocontribute to the bank in addition to accepting deposits. Not only the asset portfolio, but also the capital structureofthebankisendogenouslydetermined. Fifth, we assume that depositors receive signals about the value of loans that the bank can recover before they are due. This interim liquidation value is available to pay depositors who are seekingtowithdraw. Wesupposethatthedepositorsmakeadecisionwhethertorunbasedonthese signals. Our assumption about the nature of these signals means that the decision to run depends ontheassetandliabilitystructureofthebank,andthevalueofthesignal. Thereisauniquesignal thresholdthatdetermineswhetherthereisarun. There are three important consequences of these modifications. First, they create an environment where the level of credit risk and run risk in the economy are endogenously determined and interact. Second,thebank’schoicesofboththemixbetweenthelevelofliquidandilliquidassets andbetweendebtandequitydifferfromwhatasocialplannerwouldselect. Theprivateequilibrium featuresexcessivelevelsoflendingrelativetoliquidassetholdingandmoredebtfinancingrelative to equity financing. Because of the market incompleteness there is not a unique social planner’s allocation. Instead the preferred allocations will depend on the planner’s weights on the different actors in the economy. Loosely speaking, when the planner favors the savers, she will choose to limit risk while emphasizing liquidity provision for depositors. Alternatively, if the planner is primarily looking out for borrowers, the allocations are arranged to control run risk while increasing lending. The third outcome in the model is that regulations akin to those embedded in the new Basel regulations for liquidity and capital can be studied to see if they could align the private asset and liability mix with the social efficient one. In particular, we study two capital regulations, one that ties capital requirements to the riskiness of bank assets and a second leverage requirement that is determined by the total scale of bank assets. We also look at a pair of liquidity regulations. One, akin to the so-called liquidity coverage ratio, makes the bank hold more short-term liquid assets whenitusesmorerunnablefunding. Theother,liketheso-callednetstablefundingratio,requires thebanktoincreaseitslongtermfundingtomatchitslongertermassets. Although regulations can individually reduce the probability that a run occurs and improve 3
welfare, they affect the asset mix and the liability mix in different ways. Capital regulations result inmorelending, butinlowerliquidasset holdings thanitissociallyoptimal. Incontrast, liquidity regulations reduce lending, but leave the level of capital below the social optimum. Because the private allocations diverge from the socially optimal allocations in two ways, no single regulation is sufficient to implement the social optimum; we show that at least two tools are needed. Yet, theoptimalregulatorymixcannotarbitrarilyincludeanytwotools, becausesomeregulationsmay be redundant. For example, we find that the two liquidity regulations cannot be jointly binding. Nevertheless, combinations of a capital and a liquidity regulation are feasible and are sufficient to implementthesocialplanner’ssolution. Aspecialcaseariseswhenbankershaveamplewealthtoinvestinsomuchbankequity,which pushes their economic surplus down to zero in equilibrium. Therein, planning outcomes are decentralized with only one regulation, which depends on the deadweight losses in bankruptcy. If thelatterarelow,thenonlyliquidityregulationisneeded,whileforhighones,capitalregulationis used. The remainder of the paper is separated into four parts. In section 2, we describe the model andshowtheprivatelyoptimalchoicesforthebank, thesaversandtheentrepreneurs.

2.1 Savers The savers are endowed with eS and eS at t =1 and t =2, respectively. In the initial period, they 1 2 invest in bank deposits, D, and can additionally save by investing in the liquid storage technology, LIQS. A portion of savers, δ, receive a preference shock to consume in the intermediate period, 1 while the rest, 1−δ, want to consume att =3. The preference shock is private information, i.i.d. andisnotcontractibleex-ante. Depositsaredemandable, earlywithdrawalsareservicedsequentiallyandtheinterestrates, rD 2 and rD, for withdrawals at t = 2 or t = 3 respectively, are uncontingent. This contract structure 3 creates the possibility of a run, since patient savers may choose to demand their deposits early dependingontheirowninformationandtheirexpectationsabouttheactionsofotherpatientsavers; every(patient)depositorreceivesanoisysignalatt =2abouttheliquidationvalue,ξ,ofthebank’s ∗ loans and there is a threshold, ξ , determining whether a patient saver decides to run or keep her depositsinthebank. Theprobabilityofarunwillbeuniqueanddependonfundamentalssimilarly toGoldsteinandPauzner(2005).4 In order to facilitate the exposition of the model, while retaining precision, we denote all variablesthatarenot(pre-)determinedatt =1asfunctionsoftheliquidationvalue, ξ, andtheportion ofsaverswhodecidetowithdrawatt=2,λ∈[δ,1]. Inequilibrium,eitherallsaverschoosetowithdraw,λ=1,oronlytheimpatientsaverswithdraw,λ=δ. However,theout-of-equilibriumbeliefs, which play an important role in the determination of the run probability derived below in section 2.4, depend on the conjectured portion of savers withdrawing. This conjecture can be anywhere betweenδand1. It is instructive to review the different possible scenarios separately. If there is no run, only impatient depositors withdraw and they receive the full amount of promised payment, D (cid:0) 1+rD(cid:1) . 2 Patient depositors’ repayments are determined as a function of the technology shock in the next period. Inarun,alldepositorsattempttowithdrawandthereisprobabilityθ(ξ,1)thatadepositor is served.5 Conditional on the bank surviving to t = 3 patient depositors receive their promised payment in full or in part if the bank defaults, VD(ξ,δ)D (cid:0) 1+rD(cid:1) .

In determining the optimal ex-ante decisions, it is important to know what determines panics. In the Diamond-Dybvig model panics are a multiple equilibrium outcome.

EnnisandKeister(2005) take an axiomatic approach to equilibrium selection and link the probability of a particular equilibrium being played to appropriately defined incentives of agents. Instead, we use the global games approach developed by Morris and Shin (1998) and applied to banks runs by Goldstein and Pauzner (2005) to derive a unique probability of run which dependsonfundamentals.AlthoughwemaintaintheykeyassumptioninGoldsteinandPauzner(2005)toobtainaunique equilibrium,weamendtheirapproachbyintroducingnoisysignalsonadifferentvariablesothattheupperdominance regionisendogenouslyderivedratherthanassumed.

Equation(15)saysthattheloanisfullyrepaidwhentherevenueavailable to the entrepreneur, which is derived from the own funds invested by the entrepreneurs, IE, and bank loans, is higher than the outstanding loan obligation; otherwise the entrepreneur defaults and thebankseizeseverythingthatisavailable. Equation(16)saysthatlatedepositorsarerepaidinfull when the value of bank assets is higher than the promised deposit payments; otherwise the bank defaultsanddepositorsdividetheassetsinapro-ratafashion. After the run uncertainty has been resolved and the true value of ξ is learned, the banker can choose to monitor the borrower to learn the true value of the productivity shock at t =3, which is private information to the entrepreneur. Alternatively, the banker can forgo the monitoring and enjoyaprivatebenefitfromrunningthebank. Wefollowthelongtraditionintheliteratureassuming thatmonitoringiscostlyforthebankerbecauseshewouldhavetogiveupaprivatebenefitshewould otherwise receive from managing the bank (see, for example, Holmström and Tirole, 1997).

Ifthebankerdoesnotmonitor, 3s then the entrepreneur reports the lowest realization for A , defaults on the loan repayment and 3s forces the bank to default on its deposits (so that bank equity is worthless). It suffices that the IC constraint is satisfied for ξ=ξ ∗ , because expected dividends are increasing in ξ, thus the banker willalwayshaveanincentivetomonitorifthereisnorun. Thebankandthedepositorsmaywanttowriteadepositcontractnotonlyonthedepositsrate(s) andtheamountofdeposits,butalsooverallthefactorsaffectingtheriskinessofthedeposits. These risksaregovernedbyallaspectsofthebank’sbalancesheet,inparticular,itschoiceofleverage(or equivalentlyacapitalratio),itsassetallocationbetweenloansandliquidassets(i.e.,aliquidityratio) anditsmaturitymismatch(i.e.,anetstablefundingratio). However,suchcomprehensivecontracts may not be possible for a number of reasons and do not resemble observed deposit or unsecured funding arrangements in reality.9 As a result, the bank would be tempted to deviate in the way it choosesitsleverage,liquidityandmaturitymismatchafterithasenteredintoadepositcontractand receivedthedeposits. Technically,thislackofcommitment meansthatthebankwilloptimizeonly overstatesoftheworldinwhichitissolventbecauseitisprotectedbylimitedliability. Likewise, it will only internalize how it affects the supply of deposits when it chooses the contract terms (cid:0) D,rD,rD(cid:1) . The bank does understand that taking more risk increases the cost of raising deposits, 2 3 and would ideally want to promise depositors that it will behave prudently. But, after the deposit contracthasbeensigned,thebankhasanincentivetodeviatetowardslendingmore,holdingfewer liquidassetsandraisinglessequity. Depositors have rational expectations and ex-ante require that the bank offers higher deposit rates to compensate for the anticipated risk-taking due to the lack of commitment. In contrast, a socialplannerwouldrecognizethatthebank’sinsolvencyadverselyimpactssavers,andwouldaccountforthisinmakingallocations. Webelievethatincompletecontractingisanimportantfeature of reality when financial institutions have a rich balance sheet and their activities expose savers to credit risk. Nevertheless, we also examine the case where comprehensive contracts, specifying the full set of choices made by the banker, can be written. We denote by I an indicator function, c which takesvalue oneif deposit contractsare comprehensiveand zeroif they areincomplete. Our conclusionsregardingtheneedforbankregulationholdforbothcases.

In solving for bank’s optimal choices, we will focus on equilibria such that the bank is always solvent in state g and always defaults in state b for all realizations of ξ≥ξ ∗ .10 Substituting into (10) equations (13), (14), (15), (16), the banker optimizes over the risky loan, I, the liquid asset holdings,LIQ andLIQ (ξ,δ)foreachξ,theequitycontributed,E,therunthreshold,ξ ∗ ,thelevel 1 2 of deposits, D, and the deposit rates, rD and rD. She takes (11), (17) and (32) as constraints in her 2 3 problem. Thelastconstraintistheglobalgamecondition,GG,whichdeterminestherunthreshold is derived in section 2.4 below. Due to limited liability the banker will only consider the states in whichsheissolvent. Theoptimalityconditionforloans,I,is: dUB dIC dGG dDS −ψ +ψ +ψ +ψ ·I =0, (18) dI BS IC dI GG dI DS dI c where dUB/dI = (cid:82)ξ (cid:8) ω (cid:0) 1+rI(cid:1)(cid:9) dξ/∆ is the marginal effect of investment on banker’s share ξ∗ 3g ξ of profits and ψ , ψ , ψ and ψ are the multipliers on constraints (11), (17), (32) and (7) BS IC GG DS respectively. Theexpression(18)saysthatoptimalleveloflendingisdeterminedbyhavingthebankertrade off the marginal return accruing to her against the shadow cost of funding additional lending and the way it affects the incentive compatibility and the run threshold determination constraints. As already mentioned, the banker only internalizes states where she is solvent due to limited liability. Finally, the banker considers how her investment decisions affects the deposit supply only when the level of investment is a contractual deposits term at which she can commit to. Equation (18) correspondstotheloansupplyschedule,denotedbyLS,offeredtoentrepreneurs.

The optimal choice of liquid assets is governed by the same considerations to determine optimal lending. The only difference is that the marginal return on the liquid assets is scaledbytheliquidationvalueξ,becausethebankneedstoliquidate1/ξfewerloanstoserveearly 10Equivalently, entrepreneurs default on their loan in state b and deliver fully in state g.

Theoptimalchoiceofliquidityholdings,LIQ (ξ,δ)ismadeaftertherununcertaintyisresolved 2 and depends on the realization of ξ. As a result, the banker will only consider the effect on (her) profits,butnottheeffectontherunthresholdduetotheinabilitytocommit. Banksmaywantpatient investors to think that they will hold liquid assets from t =2 to t =3 to reduce the probability of a run, but if the bank survives, then banks may not have an incentive to hold liquid assets because theyonlycareaboutstatesinwhichtheyaresolvent(unlessthedepositcontractspecifiesthelevel of second period liquid assets for every realization of ξ). Under incomplete contracts, the banker will carry liquidity in period 3 only if the liquidation value is higher than the expected loan return in the states that the bank is solvent, i.e., if ξ>ω (1+rI). In the equilibria we examine this is 3g never the case, because ξ<1+rI, so it is optimal for the bank to recall loans only to serve early withdrawalsandnottohoardliquidity. Theoptimalityconditionwithrespecttocontributedequity,E,is: dUB +ψ =0, (21) dE BS where dUB/dE = −γ·U(cid:48)(cid:0) eB−E (cid:1) . Condition (21) says that injecting more equity requires the bankertogiveupconsumptionintheinitialperiodinexchangeforincreasingthefundsofthebank. Note the condition does not include a term for the effect of additional equity on constraints GG or IC (as well as DS for comprehensive contracts). This is true because, E does not appear directly in (32), (17) or (7), but this doesn’t mean that equity is irrelevant for their determination. On the contrary, equity issuance can affect the run probability, the incentives to monitor and the deposit supplythroughitsjointdeterminationwiththeotherequilibriumvariables.

As already mentioned, we take all variables that are not predetermined at t=2 to be functions of the realization of ξ and the number of people that choose to withdraw, λ∈[δ,1]. Patient savers receive at t=2 private signals x =ξ+ε, where ε are small error terms that are independently and i i i uniformlydistributedover[−ε,ε].

We refer the reader to Goldstein-Pauznerforadetailedproofofexistenceanduniquenessoftheequilibriumrunthreshold. In contrast to their setup, we obtain well-defined upper and lower dominance regions under our assumptions for the liquidation value ξ, with each patient agent’s best action being independent of her belief concerning other patient agents’ behavior. The existence of these regions is critical for obtainingarunthreshold. LD The lower dominance region is defined by a threshold ξ for fundamentals such the every individual patient depositor will run on the bank irrespective of what other patient depositors do whenξ<ξ LD . Thisthresholdisgivenbyξ LD = (cid:0) δ·D·(1+rD)−LIQ (cid:1) /I. Inotherwords, when 2 1 theliquidationvalueturnsouttobesolowthattheimpatientdepositorscannotbefullyrepaid,then thepatientdepositorswillalwaysrun. UD The upper dominance region is defined by a threshold ξ for fundamentals such that every individual patient depositor will not run on the bank when ξ > ξ UD , irrespective of what other patient depositors do. This threshold is given by ξ UD = (cid:0) D·(1+rD)−LIQ (cid:1) /I. This condition 2 1 says that the liquidation value is so high that even if everyone were to run the bank would be able topaythem. Inthatcase,runningmakesnosense. In the equilibria we consider we verify that ξ<ξ LD <ξ ∗ <ξ UD <ξ. The conditions that are neededtoestablishthetworegionsarenotveryrestrictive. Becausethereisaggregateuncertainty about the liquidation value and the loans may be worth more than their face value if liquidated, thebankwillholdfewerliquidassetsthanthepredictedwithdrawalsbyimpatientdepositors.

Thiswillguaranteetheupperdominanceregion. 2.5 DiscussionofModelingAssumptions Before analyzing the model’s properties, it is helpful to clarify the role that the various modifications we have made to the standard Diamond-Dybvig model play in our analysis. There are three important changes that are essential for our results and several lesser alterations that are made to simplifytheanalysisandexposition. PrivateBenefitandMonitoring. Onecriticalchangeistheassumptionthatthebankershavean outsideoptionwhichdepositorsmusttakeintoaccountinprovidingfunding. Wehaveintroduced this consideration by assuming that the realized productivity of entrepreneurial projects is private information, hence there is a need for monitoring. However, bankers are willing to monitor only whentheprofitsaccruingtothemarehigherthantheirprivatebenefits. Demandabledepositsexert disciplinebecausedepositorswouldruniftheyexpectedthattheincentivecompatibilityconstraint of bankers to be violated ex-post. These adjustments are important in generating endogenous run risk. IncompleteMarketsforAggregateRisk. Thesecondfundamentaladaptationistheassumption thatrealeconomicactivityissubjecttoaggregateproductivityriskandagentscannotwritecontingentcontractsontherealizationoftheproductiveshockinstates. Theuncontingentdebtcontracts couldbesetsothattheywouldberisklessbyrestrictingtheloanamountsothattheborrowercould repayinallstatesoftheworld. Thisisnotprofit-maximizingandinsteadthebankiswillingtotake some credit risk. In addition to the aggregate risk, the liquidation value of long-term investment isuncertain(anduninsurableanduncontractible). Thecombinationofthesemodificationscreates endogenous risk of a run. The technical assumptions about the signals regarding the liquidation valuemeansthatthe probabilityofarunisa uniquelydefinedasafunctionof fundamentals. This assumptionisalsoimportanttogenerateendogenouscreditrisk. Banker as an Agent and Banker’s Wealth. Our third important modification is the assumption that the intermediaries are run by bankers who want to maximize their own utility rather than the utility of depositors and also enjoy private benefits from operating the bank. This assumption is importanttojustifyshort-termfundingasadisciplinedeviceandgeneratedivergentincentivesdue to credit risk. We suppose that in our baseline case that bankers can earn profits. As mentioned already,itispossiblethatthebankersaresowealthythattheydesiretolendsomuchthatprofitsare driventozero. Thisreducesoneofthedistortionsinthemodel,but,asweshowinsection5,there isstillscopeforbankingregulation. There are several other modifications that we make to the Diamond-Dybvig set up that are for convenienceandarenotessentialfortheresults. Quasi-linearPreferencesandEquityFinancing. Wehaveassumedquasi-linearpreferencesfor savers and bankers to simplify the exposition of the model. Our results would also hold under 20
concave utilities in period 3 and, arguably, they would be stronger given that the stability of the banking sector would interact positively with risk-aversion. Our results go through provided that bankersarenotmorerisk-aversethansavers,sothatbankersarewillingtoinjectequityandarenot insured by savers. Nevertheless, quasi-linear preferences are important to simplify the solution of theincompleteinformationgamewhensaversareallowedtoalsoinvestinbankequityasexplained in the online appendix. To facilitate a comparison to that case we have maintained the assumption inourbaselinemodel. BankruptcyCosts. Theintroductionofbankruptcycostsessentiallygivesbanker’sanadvantage at investing in entrepreneurs’ projects and introduces a risk-sharing role of equity.16 Although assuming zero bankruptcy costs would be inconsequential for most of our analysis, the level of these costs matters when bankers have ample wealth and planning equilibria can be implemented withoneregulationasweexplaininsection5. Finally, it is not necessary that the value of liquidity provision arises only for the reasons emphasizedbyDiamondandDybvig. Wecouldchangeagents’preferencestoreducethecomplexity ofourmodel. Thefirstdrawbackofdoingsoisthatwewouldneedtointroduceanothersourceof outflowsthatthebankexperiencesintheintermediateperiodsuchthatthelowerdominanceregion in (27) is well defined. Such outflows could result, for example, from tax obligations; yet, certain assumptionsabouttheseniorityoftheseoutflowsandshort-termdebtwouldhavetobemade. The seconddrawbackisthatwewouldnotbeabletostudytheeffectofregulationonliquidityprovision, whichwouldmatterforthewelfareimplicationsofourmodel. 3 Efficient Allocations Bankers internalize how their investment and capital decisions change the probability of a run and choosethedeposittermsoptimallygiventhesupplyscheduleofferedbysavers. However,bankers may still have an incentive to take risk to exploit their limited liability and choose banking allocations that maximize their own utility at the expense of the other agents.

Agents’utilitiesaregivenby(26),(6)and(10). Itwillbeusefulinwhatfollowstointroducesome additional notation. Define the set of the aforementioned optimizing variables as X. The planner will optimally choose variables X ∈X subject to a set of constraints B(X), which are described below,i.e.,theplanner’sproblemis max Usp X s.t. B(X)≥0. (34) The planner is constrained by the market structure of the economy, i.e., she cannot use lumpsum transfers to allocate resources across agents,18 and needs to respect: the individual budget constraints (1), (2), (3), (4), (5); the balance sheet constraints (11), (12), (13), (14); the private incentives to default, i.e., constraints (15) and (16); the banker’s incentive compatibility constraint (17); the global game constraint (32); and the fact that liquidity, deposits, equity and interest rates cannotbenegative. Moreover,theplannertakesthedepositsupplyandloandemandschedules(7) and(27)asadditionalconstraints. Yet,inprinciple,shedoesn’tneedtorespectthem,whichmeans that(7)and(27)donotneedtoholdwithequalityintheplannersolution. Forexample,theplanner could choose deposit or loan rates that do not necessarily satisfy all these conditions with equality andimplementtheresultingallocationsbychoosinginstruments,suchasPigouviantaxesoninterest income/expenses, that distorts (7) or (27).19 If these conditions do not hold with equality, then the Lagrangemultipliersassociatedwiththemarezero. Giventhatourfocusisonbankingregulation, wewillimposetheprivatedepositsupplyandloandemandschedulesasequalitiesintheplanner’s problem. Hence, in our baseline analysis the planner is essentially choosing a set of allocations that need to satisfy the pricing equations given by the deposit supply and loan demand schedules. We relax this assumption in the online appendix and show that our conclusions on the need for 18Giventheabsenceoflump-sumtransfers,wecannotunambiguouslyconstructawelfarecriteriumtomaximizethe totalsurplus.Thus,weassignweightsfordifferentagentsinasocialwelfarefunctionandstudydifferentconstellationsof theseweights.Althoughweremainagnosticabouttheoriginofsuchweights,wediscussthepotentialpoliticaleconomy considerationsofregulation. 19FarhiandWerning,2016,andBianchiandMendoza,forthcoming,considersuchtaxestoimplementtheconstrained efficientallocations.Notethatthetaxescanalsotakenegativevalues,inwhichcasetheyareinterpretedassubsidies. 22
banking regulation continue to hold. To summarize, the set B(X) includes constraints (1)-(5), (7), (9),(11)-(17),(25),(27),(28),(32). We report the planner’s first order conditions in a compact form, because the detailed expressionsarelongandnotparticularlyenlightening.

We identifytwo distortedmarginsof optimizationin thebanker’s private decisions; first, a distorted asset mix, and, second, a distorted liabilities mix. The former captures the way the banker and the planner choose between investing in the risky loans or the liquidasset. Thelattercapturesthechoiceoffundingusedforinvestment.21 Toseewhytherearetwoindependentintermediationmargins,observethatthebanker’soptimizingbehaviorintheprevioussectionyieldssevenoptimizingconditionfor{I,LIQ ,E,D,rD,rD,ξ ∗}. 1 2 3 Moreover,therearefourLagrangemultipliers{ψ ,ψ ,ψ ,ψ }associatedwithfourconstraints.

Alternatively, we could have expressed everything in terms of functions I and E – or in fact in terms of any other combination of one of the liabilities and one of the assets. So a natural way to think of the two “free" banking choices is that the proportions of liquidtoilliquidassetsanddepositstoequityarethecriticalendogenousobjectsinthemodel.

Second,theplannerconsidershowthewelfareofallagents,notonlyofthebanker,mattersforthe level of multipliers on constraints GG, IC and DS.23 In other words, the planner internalizes how picking the run threshold, how relaxing the banker’s incentive compatibility constraint and how moving along the deposit supply curve also affects entrepreneurs’ and savers’ welfare.

The parameterization should be taken more as an illustrative example to highlight the mechanisms in the model rather than as a realistic calibration of the economy attempting to make quantitative statements about the absoluteoptimallevelofbankingregulations. Wehaveexperimentedwithvariousotherparameter choicesandthefindingsthatweemphasizearequiterobust. Ourmodelwouldrequiresomeobviousmodificationstouseitforquantitativepolicyanalysis. Forexample,allliabilitiesinourmodelareunsecured,whileinpracticecertaintypesofdepositsare insured. Deposit insurance, even partial, would reduce the market discipline exerted by depositors andhencethecreditriskpremiaindepositratesbringingthemclosertowhatisobservedinreality. Moreover, it is not clear whether the various capital regulations in practice (Basel requirements, stress tests, restrictions on dividend payouts) are indeed binding and whether one should be calibrating to match a regulated economy rather than an unregulated private equilibrium. Finally, the assumptionoflinearityofutilitiesinthirdperiodconsumption,whichsimplifiesthecomputationof therunthresholdsignificantly,aswellasthefinitehorizonofthemodelmakedepositorswillingto acceptahigherprobabilityofaruniftheywererisk-averseoriftherewasacontinuationvaluefor thebank. Onecouldaddconvexbankruptcycoststomimicahigherdegreeofrisk-aversionaswell as model the continuation value, but we have not done so because it is not important to make our fundamentalanalyticpoints. Withthesecaveatsinmind,letuscallattentiontosomeoftheconsiderationsthatwetookinto accountwhilechoosingthemodelparameters. First, the probabilities of default and losses given default will determine the amount of default risk that the bank is facing. We opt to have entrepreneurs and banks default in the bad state irrespectiveoftherealizationoftheliquidationvalueintheintermediateperiod. Second, the bank is profitable enough, and the initial equity of the banker and her preference for current consumption are such that she voluntarily uses some of her endowment to buy more equityinthebank. Inourbaselineequilibrium,thebankerenjoysapositiveeconomicsurplusfrom intermediating. In section 5 we examine a case that the banker has sufficient initial wealth so that she invests in the bank up to the point that the economic surplus accruing to her is driven to zero, i.e., she enjoys the same utility as in autarky. We believe that this is not realistic, but describing this case isstill useful to highlightthat the justification forbanking regulation is not tocapture the 25
economicsurplusofbankers,butrathertoimproveallocativeandproductiveefficiency. Third, the liquidity provision by the bank leads savers not choose to additionally self-insure by holding the liquid asset. When savers self-insure, the banking sector is under-performing as a providerofliquidityand,hence,intermediation,andregulationsthatmakebanksmorestablewould have an additional positive effect. In our baseline parameterization we want to mute this channel and make it harder for regulation to improve economic outcomes. However, our results hold even whensaversself-insureintheprivateequilibrium. Fourth,wehavechosentheparameters,amongthem,mostimportantly,theliquiditypreference shock, the distribution of the liquidation value and risky technology payoffs, such that the bank holds a portfolio of both liquid assets and risky loans, and also liquidates part of its risky holdings toserveearlywithdrawals.

Note that we report two types of private equilibria in Table 2: one where the funding contracts with depositors are incomplete, and another where the banker can write comprehensive contracts. Westartbydiscussingthefirstcase,andexaminethesecondattheendofthissection. We focus the analysis around the two intermediation margins derived in section 3.2. First, the plannercorrectsthedistortionintheassetmixbetweenriskyloansandliquidassets. Duetolimited liability and incomplete contracting the banker has an incentive to tilt her portfolio towards risky loans, which have a higher payoff in the states where B is solvent, while fully internalizing the effectoftheassetmixontherunprobabilityandthestabilityofbankingprofitsaccruingtoher. The planner also internalizes the effect of the bank’s choices on savers and entrepreneurs and chooses a more liquid asset mix. This can be seen from the big increase in liquid assets in the planner’s solutionforallweightsandthehigherliquiditycoverageandnetstablefundingratios. The funding mix is also distorted. The banker prefers to fund herself with deposit rather than equity because by levering up she can exploit her limited liability. Also, deposits carry a liquidity premium, in that the deposit rate reflects more than credit risk and time-preference. The banker herself has no preference for liquidity given that she doesn’t want to consume in the intermediate 27
period and would like to extract any liquidity premium by using deposit funding. The planner insteadprefersmoreequityfundingandamorestablecapitalstructure. Hence,theplannerchooses highercommonequityandhighercapitaladequacy. Bydoingso,theplanner’sallocationsallowthe banktooperatewithalargerbalancesheet. Despiteahighercapitalratio,thebankoperateswitha lowerleverageratioanddeliversitsintermediationservicesmoreefficiently. The more stable asset and funding choices of the planner come from the desire to reduce run risk. Theprobabilitythatarunoccursdropsintheplanner’ssolution,asdoestheprobabilityoffundamentalruns. Overall, thisimprovesthestabilityofthebankingsectorandenhancesthestability ofrealeconomicactivityastheentrepreneurseesherfundingbeingwithdrawnlessfrequently.26 Moreover, the planner reduces maturity transformation in relative terms, which can be seen by the higher risk weighted capital and net stable funding ratios. However, the reduction in maturity transformation is not necessarily accompanied by a drop in the level of credit extension. For sufficientlyhighw ,theplannerchooseshigherinvestmentthanintheprivateequilibrium. Indeed,we E show that increasing the equity in the bank, without requiring more liquidity, leads to more credit extension through a combination of channels described in detail in sections 4.1 and 4.2 where we studycapitalandleveragerequirementsinisolation. Onthecontrary,creditextensionislowerwhen thesaverisfavoredandtheplannerforcesthebanktoholdmoreliquidassets. Overall,privateallocationscanexhibitbothunder-andover-investmentindicatingthatthesourceofinefficiencyisnot thetotalleveloflending,butitsrelationtotheholdingofliquidassetsandthefundingstructureof thebank. Liquidity provision is also higher in the planner’s solution. In fact, liquidity provision as measuredin(44)isbelowoneintheprivateequilibrium,whichsuggeststhatthebankeroffersattractive enough returns to patient depositors to induce them to accept lower utility when they turn out to beimpatient–thedeposittermsstilldeliverhigheroverallutilitythaninautarky. Thismaynotbe surprisinggiventhatthebankerfavorslendingoverholdingliquidity,sothebankfindsitmoredifficulttoprovideinsurancetoimpatientsavers. Insteadtheplannerdeliversmoreliquidityprovision to impatient depositors without sacrificing long-term returns to patient savers.27 This is possible becausetheplanner’schoicesleadtoalargeroveralllevelofintermediation. Theenhancedstabilityofboththeassetportfolioandcapitalstructureofthebankarebeneficial 26Thefactthatpanic-drivenrunsoccurwithnon-negligibleprobabilitysuggeststhatgovernmentguarantees,suchas depositinsuranceorimplicitbailoutsubsidies,maybeusefulpolicyinterventions. Wehaveabstractedfromintroducing government guarantees in the model for two reasons.

Theplannercaresabouttheexternalitiestotheotheragentsaswellandweakenstheability of the banker to take advantage of her limited liability. In fact, the banker’s welfare always drops in the planner’s solutions and drives the banker to her participation constraint, unless the weight on the banker is (unreasonably) high. We do not explore such planning equilibria because they cannot be implemented with banking regulation, which always drives bankers utility down, as it will become more clear in section 4. Nevertheless, the planner not only increases social welfare (Usp), which depends on Pareto weights, but also the overall surplus in the economy, which is captured by the change in Ssp. The planner could improve the welfare all agents if she had access toare-distributive,non-distortionary(lump-sum),taxsystemtotransferresourcesacrossagents.

Weshouldnotethatneitherthebankernortheplannerholdexcessliquidity,i.e.,LIQ (ξ,δ)=0 2 for all ξ. Holding excess liquidity could be desirable in order to eliminate the probability of a run altogether.

Such run-proof equilibria may not be desirable 1 2 2 when the lowest liquidation value of long-term investment is small or when savers are not very risk-averse. Afairamountofliteraturehasfocusedonrun-proofequilibria,whichnaturallyrestrict creditintermediation(seeCooperandRoss,1998,EnnisandKeister,2006,DiamondandKashyap. 2016).

Indeed, as the table shows the banker’s choices result in lower welfare for entrepreneurs and savers compared to the private equilibrium with incomplete deposit contract, and theparticipationconstraintofsaversstartsbinding. 4 Regulation We now explore how the planner’s solution can be decentralizing via various regulatory interventions, which tighten the regulatory ratios (40)-(43). Sections 4.1-4.4 discuss the effects when the toolsareusedinisolation. Section4.5discusseshowtheregulationscanbeoptimallycombinedto implementtheplanner’ssolutionasaprivateequilibrium. Table3reportstheresultsforthevarious regulations. 4.1 CapitalRequirements Capital regulation requires the bank to hold a certain percentage of equity for every unit of risky loansextendedanditformallyamountstoincreasingCRinequation(40). Mandatinghighercapitalrequirementsreducestheabilityofthebankertotakeriskthroughdepositfunding. Inmodelswherethebankcannotraiseadditionalequity,strictercapitalrequirements (mechanically)result ina dropin creditextension (see, for example, Corbae andD’Erasmo, 2014, Clerc et al. 2015 and the references therein). More generally, one could allow banks to raise both equityanddeposits. Then, capitalregulationhasaneffectiftheModigliani-Millertheoremisviolated. Despiteabstractingfromanytaxadvantagesofdebt,whichisthemostcommonviolationput forward, our environment breaks Modigliani-Miller in various ways, even holding the probability thatarunoccursconstant. First,depositscarryaliquiditypremium.28 Second,theavailableequity capitalisnotperfectlyelasticallysuppliedand,from(21),thebankerrequiresahigherreturnifshe contributes more equity. Third, default is costly and there are positive bankruptcy costs. The first two frictions push for higher cost of funding, while the last for lower, when capital requirements increase. Although the overall partial equilibrium effect, fixing the probability of a run and the liquiditypremium,seemsambiguous,itisplausibletosupposethatthethreeforcesresultinhigher fundingcostsandlowerlendingforlowenoughbankruptcycosts. Butourmodelfeaturesadditionalchannelswhichpushuplending. Thefirstimportantchannel is that higher capital reduces the probability of a run. This makes savers more willing to make deposits and the entrepreneurs more inclined to borrow.29 Second, substituting equity financing for deposit financing on the margin allows the bank to hold less liquidity to serve the impatient households. This would incrementally free up resources to be invested in risky loans. Finally, the 28SeeVandenHeuvel(2008)andHanson,KashyapandStein(2011)forestimatesoftheliquiditypremiumforbank deposits. 29In a model where the bank is funded only with deposits, Ennis and Keister (2006) show that shifting the asset mix towards more illiquid loans would result in a lower probability of being repaid given that a run occurs, which counterbalancestheincreaseincreditextensionwhentheprobabilityofarundecreases.Thisdoesnotneedtobetruein ourmodel,becausetheincreaseinthecreditextensionisfundedbymorecapital. 30
reduced demand for deposits suppresses incrementally the deposit rate, other things equal, due to impatientsavers’liquiditydemand.30 Accounting for all these considerations, lending rises when capital requirements increase.31 There are other noteworthy general equilibrium effects that also arise. For example, the cost of funding decreases which also allows for lower loan rates.32 Moreover, the lower probability of a run allows for more deposit taking, which pushes the deposit rate up; the banker continues to try to take advantage of her limited liability and funding higher investment exclusively with equity is expensive. Finally,capitalrequirementsdonotnecessarilyneedtoresultinlowerliquidityholdings. Theopportunitycostofliquidatingriskyloansincreasesbecausetheloansarefundedwithamore expensivesourceoffinancingonthemargin. Hence,thebankchoosestoliquidateasmallerportion ofitsloanportfoliointheintermediateperiodforanyrealizationoftheliquidationvalue(thoughthis is not shown in Table 3). This result is why the holdings of liquid assets also increase with higher capitalrequirements,butthebankstillholdslessliquiditythattheplannerwould. Thisimpliesthat capitalandliquidityregulationcouldbeoptimallycombinedasweshowinsection4.5. Although credit extension goes up, the regulation has two important implications. First, the higher credit extension needs to be funded exclusively with more equity. Second, liquid asset holdings also rise. As we will discuss in the following section, this is not the case under the risk-insensitive leverage regulation, because that type of rule allows the banker to offset lending increaseswithreductionsinliquidassets.

Ofnote,thelevelofcapitalrequirementsthatmaximizessocialgainswithoutviolatingbankers’ participationconstraints, ishigherthanthecapitalratiointheplanner’ssolution. Aswediscussin section 4.5, the planner uses multiple tools to implement the socially optimal allocations. If a regulator is limited to one tool, that tool must be used more aggressively than if several can be deployed,soit’svaluewill“over-shoot”thelevelthataplannerwillpick.

4.2 LeverageRequirements Leverage regulation ties the level of capital to the overall size of the bank’s balance sheet and it formallyamountstodecreasingLevRinequation(41). Leverage requirements operate through the same channels as capital requirements, i.e., they reduce the ability of the banker to take risk through deposit funding. Overall, they push credit extension up, but there is a critical difference. Risk-weighted capital regulation requires banks to holdmorecapitalonlyagainstriskyloans,whileleverageregulationmandatesmorecapitalagainst allassetsand,hence,itdoesnotdirectlyaffectthemarginalchoicebetweeninvestmentandliquidity.

Entrepreneursaremarginallybetter-offduetothehighercredit extension, but the drop in social welfare suggests that leverage requirements would not be used in isolation in this economy. This conclusion is not robust to some reasonable modifications of the environment–seeforexampletheextensionintheonlineappendix. However,eveninthemodelas itstands,belowweshowthatleverageregulationcanbecombinedwithotherregulationstoimprove economicoutcomes. Aswithalltheregulationsweconsider,thebankerisworse-off. 4.3 LiquidityRequirements A liquidity-coverage-ratio regulation requires that the immediately available funding for the bank isatleastacertainpercentageofrunnabledebt(deposits)and,inourmodel,itformallyamountsto increasingLCRinequation(42).33 Mandating that the bank holds more liquidity changes the trade-off between investing in risky loans and liquid assets, since liquid assets count fully towards this regulation and loans do not. Lookedatinisolation,thisregulationreducestheincentivetofundloansthroughdeposits. Liquidityrequirementsaregoodtoolsforraisingliquidityandreducingcreditextension. However, they erode bank profitability and make it harder to raise equity. The amount of equity falls as does the capital adequacy ratio (despite the decrease in credit extension). The bank switches to more deposit financing to compensate for lower equity financing and leverage is higher than both thePEandSPoutcomes. Overallthisregulationhastheabilitytoreduceriskontheassetside,but itresultsinhigherriskontheliabilityside.34 33We focus on a form of liquidity coverage regulation, but the results in this section hold more generally for other types of liquidity regulation, such simple restrictions on the ratio of liquid to illiquid assets (LIQ /I) or reserve ratio 1 requirements(LIQ /D). 1 34Theliteraturehasstudiedadditionalmarketfailuresthatjustifytheregulationofbanks’liquidity.InAllenandGale (2004)andDiamondandRajan(2011)theneedforpolicyinterventionstemsfromthepresenceoffire-sales,inFarhi, GolosovandTsyvinski(2009)liquidityregulationtacklesinefficientrisk-sharingduetohiddentrades,whileDiamond andKashyap(2016)showthatliquidityrequirementsareimportanttodeterrunriskwhendepositorshaveincomplete 32
However, the lower probability of runs is beneficial to both savers and entrepreneurs, and the high level of deposits improves liquidity provision. Yet, the decrease in credit extension results in higher benefits for savers than for entrepreneurs compared to the planner’s solution, while the oppositeholdforcapitalandleverageregulations. Finally,thebankerseesherwelfaregoingdown forthesamereasondescribedbefore. 4.4 NetStableFundingRequirements Thistypeofregulationrequiresthatthebankfundsacertainpercentageofilliquidassetswithlongterm,stablesourcesoffinancing,whichinourmodelareequityandtheportionofdepositsthatwill notbewithdrawn. Formally,theregulationsetsahighervalueforNSFRinequation(43). The effects of NSFR regulation are parallel to the LCR. Investment goes down, liquidity improves,andthebankreliesmoreondepositfundingratherthanequitycapital. Similarly,theprobabilityofbankrunsgoesdown. A generalized version of the NSFR could be calibrated to look more like capital or liquidity regulation. Suppose that the relative weights on equity capital and stable deposits that appear in the numerator of the NSFR could vary. Figure 1 shows the change in credit extension for this generalized version of the net stable funding ratio where equity and long-term deposit funding are weighteddifferently,i.e.,NSFR=(E+w·(1−δ)·D)/I with0<w≤1. Dependingontheweight on deposits, an increase in the NSFR would resemble more closely the effects of capital versus liquidity regulations. In particular for a low weight on deposits, the NSFR results in higher credit extension similarly to capital requirements, while for higher weights credit extension decreases similarlytoliquidityrequirements. 4.5 OptimalRegulatoryMix This section examines whether and how regulation can be combined to implement the social planner’ssolutionasaprivateequilibrium. Thesocialplannersolvesforallocationswithouttakinginto consideration how the optimal behavior of the bank will change, or in other words the first-order conditions of the banker (adjusted for regulatory interventions) are not taken as additional constraintsin(34)–thoughthebanker’sparticipationconstraintmustbesatisfied. Hence,theplanner’s allocationsarecomputedwithouttyingtheplannertospecifictools. Thiswaywehavebeenableto clearlyidentifythedistortedmarginsbetweentheprivatelyandsociallyoptimaldecisionsinsection 3.2.

Forthatpurposeweset-upanaugmentedplannerendowedwithcertainregulatorytools. LetT betheavailablesetofregulatorytoolswhichwillincludeatleastthefourregulationsstudiedabove and possibly others. For each T ∈T there is a regulatory constraint RC(T,X)≥0, which ties the tool with the endogenous variables X ∈X (for example, constraints (40)-(43)). It is important to informationaboutbanks’assetportfolios.Finally,Calomiris,HeiderandHoerova(2015)discusshowliquidityregulation canprovidetherightincentivesformanagingrisksunderdepositinsuranceguarantees. 33
note that the regulatory constraints are defined as inequalities, i.e., the planner can tighten them, butnotloosenthem. Letψ bethemultipliersthatthebankerintheprivateequilibriumassignsto T constraintRC(T,X)≥0. Underregulation,theoptimizationmarginschangeto: (cid:20) (cid:21) dRC(T,X) dRC(T,X) dRC(T,X) ILIQT:ILIQ B +∑ψ T dI − dLIQ A ILIQ + dE (1−A ILIQ ) =0, (45) T 1 (cid:20) (cid:21) dRC(T,X) dRC(T,X) dRC(T,X) EDT:ED B +∑ψ T dE (1+A ED )− dD + dI A ED =0, (46) T whereA andA aregivenby(A.9)and(A.11)intheonlineappendix. ILIQ ED The tools-augmented planner’s problem, akin to a Ramsey planner’s problem in the public financeliterature(see,forexample,LucasandStokey,1983),isderivedinanonlineappendix.35 To implementtheequilibriumallocationsofthesocialplanner,denotedbyXsp,theavailabletools,T, havetobechosensuchthat,first,XspsatisfytheregulatoryconstraintsRC(T,Xsp)=0,and,second, theintermediationmarginsintheassociatedequilibriumarethesameastheintermediationmargins of the planner. Essentially, this means that the additional terms in (45) and (46) need to equal the wedgesderivedin(38)and(39). Inmatrixform,thiscanbewrittenas: ∆RC·Ψ=WD , (47) sp whereΨistheTx1vectorofthemultiplierontheTregulatoryconstraints,WD isthe2x1vector sp ofthewedgesinthetwointermediationmarginsevaluatedattheplanner’sequilibriumvalues,and ∆RC is the 2xT matrix of the partial derivatives of the relevant variables for each intermediation marginontheTregulatoryconstraints. Thesederivativesarealsoevaluatedattheequibriumvalues forthevariablesXsp andforthelevelsofthetoolsTsp,whichimplicitlysolveRC(Tsp,Xsp)=0. Hence, it suffices to find two regulatory tools such, first, the matrix ∆RC is invertible, and, second, all elements in Ψ are positive. We will now explain these conditions in more detail and providetheunderlyingeconomicintuition. Given that the banks’ asset and liability mix are each distorted, two tools are generally needed to implement the planner’s allocations. The exception would be if the distortions turn out to alter bothmixesinidenticalways. Inthis,measurezero,casethewedgeswouldbe“equal”toeachother in equilibrium. Moreover, the optimization variables should not load on the regulatory constraints in a collinear way, or, in other words, the matrix ∆RCsp should not be singular. This means that the choice of one tool should not determine the level of another tool and, hence, there are enough degreesoffreedomtocorrectbothofthedistortions. 35TheproblemintheRamseyliteratureistomaximizeasocialwelfarefunctionsubjecttoalltheconstraintsconstitutingacompetitiveequilibriumforthepurposeoffinancinggovernmentexpenditurewithdistortionarytaxation.Although thepurposeofouraugmentedplannerisdifferent,themethodologytooptimallychoosethelevelofinstrumentsthatshe isendowedwithisthesame. 34
Finally, the regulatory tools should be jointly binding, which means that the multipliers ψ T should be strictly positive. The reason is that quantity regulations as in (40)-(43) mandate a minimum level of capital, liquidity or combinations of assets and liabilities, and the bank cannot be forcedtooperateatalowerlevel. Thisbecomesimportantwhentools,whicharebindingbythemselvesintheprivateequilibrium,arecombined. In order to examine which regulations can be jointly binding, we set the level of tools to the regulatory ratios in the planner’s solution and compute the vector of multipliers Ψ for all possible combinations. It turns out that many pairs of regulations can be combined to deliver the planner’s allocations. As long as one of the pair is a capital tool (CR or LevR) and the other a liquidity tool (LCR or NSFR) then the regulations will replicate the planner’s allocations. This result is intuitive. Theplannerwantstoholdmoreliquidityandmorecapitalthanintheprivateequilibrium. Liquidityrequirementscanforcemoreliquidityinthebank,butatthecostofreducingcapitalratios or, equivalently, increasing leverage. Hence adding a capital or leverage requirement can correct forthe(unintended)consequencesofliquidityregulation. Yet,twoliquiditytoolscannotbejointly bindingastheyreinforceeachotherandmovethekeyvariablesinthesamedirection.36 Thesame problem arises if only the two capital regulations are deployed. Otherwise, the palnner’s outcome showninthelastcolumnofTable3canbedeliveredbyanyofthefourcombinationsofthatinvolve asinglecapitalregulationalongwithasingleliquidityregulation. 5 Social outcomes, regulation and banker’s wealth abundance Until now, our analysis has focused on equilibria where banking is sufficiently profitable that the banker’sutilityisaboveherreservationvalue. Wehaveshownthatregulationdepletesthissurplus, but improves economic efficiency and increases the total surplus created. This raises the question ofwhetherregulationisneededjustbecausethebanker,actinginherowninterests,maximizesthe surplusaccruingtoher.

Inthiscase,thebankerwillinvestinsomuchbankequitythatthebanker’sparticipationconstraint is binding in the private equilibrium. Table 4 reports the private and planning outcomes for two levelsofthebankruptcycost. Aswediscussbelow,thelevelofthebankruptcycostisnotimportant to obtain divergent private and social outcomes, but matters for the kind of regulation that can 36Our results are consistent with the analysis in Checchetti and Kashyap (2016), who show that LCR and NSFR regulationsalmostsurelywillneverbindatthesametime.

Ifthebankthatcouldchoosebetweenmoretypesofassetswithdifferentlevelsofrisk, ortoholdoff-balancesheetassets,thisresultmaynohaveobtained–thoughthiswouldnotlikelydelivertheplanner’s allocations. Although we can only speculate at this point, we believe that such modifications are important avenues for future research. Other papers that study the use of capital and liquidity requirements include Walther (2016) and KaraandOzsoy(2016)inthepresenceoffiresaleexternalities,BoissayandCollard(2016)whentheinterbankmarket cannotefficientlyallocateresources,andVandenHeuvel(2017)whoquantifiesthewelfarecostsofcapitalandliquidity requirementsinaneoclassicalgrowthmodel. 35
decentralizetheplanner’ssolution. Asinthegeneralcasewhenthebanker’sutilityexceedsherreservationvalue,theplannercontinuestofavoralowerrunprobability. Socialwelfareimprovesandthetotalsurplusishigherthan in the private equilibrium. Moreover, Pareto improvements are possible, whereby both savers and entrepreneurs are better-off compared to the private equilibrium. Nevertheless, the choice of the asset mix and of the liabilities structure depends on the agent who is favored more and the level ofdeadweightlossesinbankruptcy. Thetensionsarisebecauseinthisequilibriumthebankercannot simultaneously increase both capital and liquidity. The banker is already at her participation constraint in the private equilibrium, asking her to contribute more equity requires a reduction in liquidity so the lower return to equity is counterbalanced by the positive effect of holding fewer liquidassets(andviceversa). Theplannercannotrequirebothhighercapitalandliquiditywithout violatingthebanker’sparticipationconstraint. Ifbankruptcycostsarelow,therisk-sharingeffectofhighercapitalislessstrongandtheplanner chooses more liquid assets. As a result, investment goes down and savers enjoy most of the gains fromtheintervention,whileentrepreneursareslightlybetter-offformostweightsandworse-offfor loww . Inthiscase,planningoutcomescanbefullydecentralizedwithjustoneliquidityregulation. E If bankruptcy costs are high, raising capital requirements is a more efficient way to improve social welfare and investment goes up. This outcome is equally beneficial for entrepreneurs and savers. Finally,planningoutcomescanbefullydecentralizedwithjustonecapitaltool. For all of the prior results, where the banker enjoys positive economic surplus in the private equilibrium, both a capital tool and a liquidity tool are needed for decentralization irrespective of thelevelofthebankruptcycost. 6 Conclusions Banks perform important services for the real economy using both sides of their balance sheet. However,theprivatebankingequilibriamaynotbesociallyoptimalandregulatingbankingactivitiescanimprovesocialwelfare. Wehaveexaminedhowmanyregulationsthatareoftendiscussedin policydiscussionsperforminarelativelyfamiliarmodelofbanking. WestartedfromtheDiamond and Dybvig (1983) benchmark precisely because it is so thoroughly studied. The modifications that we made trade-off tractability to keep the model relatively simple, against our preference for additionalrealisticforcesthatthebaselinemodelexcludes. Ourmodificationsgenerateendogenouscreditriskinbanks’portfoliosaswellastheriskofan endogenous funding run. This simple pair of features interact in interesting and unexpected ways. We draw several general lessons from the model that we believe will carry over to many other models. First,weidentifytwogeneralintermediationmarginsthataredistorted,i.e.,therelativeamounts of liquid and illiquid assets and the mix of deposits and equity. The way that banks privately set these margins diverges from what a social planner would choose, because bankers do not fully 36
internalize the effects of their choices on savers and entrepreneurs. In particular, a social planner chooses relatively more liquidity and equity than the banker. As a result, the planner reduces run risk, improves the provision of liquidity, and guarantees a more stable extension of credit and real productioncomparedtotheprivateequilibrium. Thesetwodistortionswillbepresentifweexpand the set of assets that banks can invest in or the types of funding sources, but additional ones may alsoarise. Second, the two wedges between the private and social choices are not collinear. Thus, more that one regulatory tool is needed to implement the socially optimal allocations. Optimal policy in models without both distortions can be misleading. For example, if the liability structure is constrained, say because deposit levels are exogenously determined and equity is fixed, studying assetallocationsanddistortionsbecomesmucheasier. But,regulation,ifanyisneeded,willamount to fixing liquidity ratios. Similarly, shutting down the liquidity demand and liquidity risk makes it easier to focus on the optimal capital structure and level of investment. But, regulation, if again anyisneeded,wouldamounttofixingcapitalratios. Instead,whenbothsidesofthebank’sbalance sheetareendogenouslydeterminedthedistortionsfromeachsideinteractandacombinationofboth capitalandliquidityrequirementsemergeintheoptimalregulatorymix. Third, the political economy aspects of regulation deserve attention. Our bankers internalize how their decisions matter for run risk and choose funding contracts optimally to maximize their own welfare. Their distorted choices, from a social point of view, have real macroeconomic consequences. Regulation improves aggregate welfare, but reduces the rents accruing to bankers. If possible, therefore, banks’ incentives to engage in regulatory arbitrage would be strong. The lack of regulatory arbitrage in the model we have studied is one of its main shortcomings. Moreover, regulating capital and/or liquidity is beneficial for both savers and entrepreneurs, but the relative benefitsofthetypeofregulationdiffer. Saversgainmorewithliquidityregulationgiventhatithas a bigger effect of liquidity provision, while entrepreneurs gain more with capital regulation given thatitallowsformorecreditextension. There are other interesting avenues to extend our model, some of which we have already been mentionedandareanalyzedintheonlineappendix. Onefurtherdirectionwouldbetoallowbanksto issue long-term debt together with demandable deposits and equity. Including loss-absorbing debt instrumentsintheregulatorymixcouldintroduceadditionalwaystotacklewithrunriskandcredit risk. Butitwouldnotconstituteafullremedybyitselfduetothedisciplinaryrolethatdemandable liabilities play. Moreover, our model is flexible enough to incorporate fire-sale dynamics by endogenizing the liquidation value of long-term investment. Although this would introduce pecuniary externalitiesasanadditionalreasonwhyprivateallocationsareinefficient,itwouldnotqualitatively overturnourmainconclusions;theassetandliabilitysidedistortionswouldbesimilar. Finally,one couldenrichthesetofriskyinvestmentsfromwhichabankercouldchooseand, thus, increasethe scope for asset substitution. Setting the (relative) risk-weights in capital requirements to capture socialriskswouldbe,then,highlyimportant. 37

A Additional derivations and computations A.1 Runthreshold This section provides details about the calculation of the run threshold in equation (32). The utility differential between waiting and withdrawing depends on the expected repayment on deposits, which in turn is a function of the expected repayment on bank loans. Moreover, they both vary as theportionofdepositors,λ,variesfromδtoθ∗. Theentrepreneuralwaysdeliversinthegoodstate oftheworldandthebankissolventwhentheportionofdepositorswithdrawingisδ. However,for givenξ=ξ ∗ ,bankprofitsfallasλincreasesandthereisaλ ˜ ∈(δ,θ∗)suchthatthebankisinsolvent, i.e.,VD(ξ ∗,λ)<1,forλ>λ ˜ .

(A.19) LD dLD LD dLD drI drI As discussed in the paper, the private intermediation margins differ from the planner’s in a number of ways. Most importantly, the banker does not care how her choices directly affect the utility of savers and entrepreneurs. Thus, additional terms enter into the planner’s solution, which capture the direct total effect of the banking choices governing credit and run risk on savers’ and entrepereneurs’welfare. Forexample,thederivativesdUj/dξ ∗ , j=S,E,arepresentin(A.12)and (A.13), but not in (A.8) and (A.10). These derivatives introduce a wedge between the private and socialintermediationmargins.

A.4 Equilibriumwithoutdepositintermediation The participation constraint (25) of the banker supposes that utility in autarky is the outside option. As already mentioned, we could consider the utility that the banker obtains by lending to entrepreneurs using only her own funds as an outside option. This section derives the conditions for the alternative outside option and shows that for the equilibrium considered in section 3.3 the autarkicutilityistherelevantoutsideoption. 5

In addition, the utility of entrepreneurs is higher thaninautarky,thustheyarewillingtoborrowdirectlyfromsavers. A.6 Additionaldistortionarytools This section extends the analysis in section 3.3 by allowing the planner to use tools to distort the depositsupplyandloandemandschedulesofsaversandentrepreneurs. Weconsidergenerictools, τ for the deposit supply schedule, and τ for the loan demand schedule, and discuss how they DS LD canbeimplementedinpractice.

Inotherwords, DS the planner can set τ (cid:54)=0, which implies that (A.32) stops being a constraint in her optimization DS problem (33) and ζ =0 in (35). The intervention can be implemented, for example, either as a DS tax on the supply of deposits att =1 or as a tax on the interest income accruing to late depositors att =3whenthebankissolvent.

Then,τ LD isthevalueoftheLagrangemultiplierontheLTV constraint. Notethatthislimitisimposedonthe entrepreneurratherthanthebanker,becausetheobjectiveistodistorttheloandemandschedule. Table A.2 below reports the planning equilibria under two sets of weights when distortionary tools are available (using the parameterization discussed in section 3.3). Comparing the planning outcomes with and without distortionary tools, we can observe that the planner can improve social gains if she is endowed with more tools. The reason is that both savers and entrepreneurs do not internalize how their behavior affects the aggregate bank variables, and most importantly the probabilityofarun. Nevertheless, there are three important observations about this extension of the model. First, banking regulation is still needed to implement socially optimal outcomes. The additional distortionary tools affect the deposit supply and loan demand schedules, but do not correct for the distortions in the banker’s optimization condition. Capital and liquidity regulation are required for the latter. Second, the use of the distortionary tools has implications for the allocation of social gains. Whilethebankerremainsatherparticipationconstraint,eitherthesaverortheentrepreneur canbemadebetter-offwhenthesetoolsareusedcomparedtothesocialplanningoutcomeswithout them. Third, a tax that restricts the supply of deposits can be beneficial for savers. In particular, the bank has to offer higher deposit rates to attact deposits and the smaller reliance on deposits in combination with capital and liquidity regulations improves the bank’s stability. Liquidity provision is lower, but this does not hurt savers overall because they are able to self-insure by holding the liquid asset. The benefits are smaller when savers are not allowed to self-insure. Moreover, entrepreneurs are worse-off because the level of funds channeled through the bank goes down and theyaredriventotheirparticipationconstraint. Asaresult,τ cannotbecombinedinthisexample LD withτ becausetherearenoadditionalsocialgainstobemade. LD A.7 Negativeinterestrates Thissectionrelaxestheassumptionaboutthenon-negativityoftheearlydepositrate,rD,andshows 2 that our conclusions about the necessity for capital and liquidity regulations carry over. Table A.3 reportstheprivateandsociallyoptimaloutcomesfornegativerD. 2 Negative early deposit rates reduce the probability of a run, since both the savers’ incentive to run and the bank’s liquidity needs are lower. The banker will weigh the reduction in the run probability to the potential increase in late deposit rates when choosing to set early deposit rates negative. However,thebankerisnotabletodecreaserD allthewaytothelevelthattheprobability 2 of a run is zero, because she would either need to offer very high rD, which eliminates her own 3 profits, or violate the participation constraint of savers. In the private equilibrium in Table A.3 saversaredriventotheirparticipationcontraint(9). Somerelyallowingfornegativeratesdoesnot allowtheprivatesectortodeliverrun-freebanking. The planner can reduce the early deposit rate all the way to the point that runs are ruled out. 9

Hence, there is a threshold ξ ˆ ∈ ξ ∗,ξ such that the bank is solvent in state m ˆ only if the realization of the liquidation value is higher than ξ. The threshold is endogenous and depends on the balance sheet of the bank. Thus, it plays a critical role in the expected probability of bank default and the benefit of raising equity to reduce expected bankruptcy costs.2 We also considerageneralspecificationforbankruptcycostsandintroduceinvestmentadjustmentcostsfor entrepreneurswhentheirloansarerecalledandinvestmentliquidated.

she decides to put into the bank at price P by participating in the primary equity market at t =1. This distinction was inconsequential in the baseline model that the banker is the sole owner of the bank. Hence, the total share holdings of the banker are EB =EB+EB. Pinning down the share of 0 1 ownership is important because the profits accruing to the banker depend on her relative holdings, EB/(EB+ES),orinotherwordsshewillreceiveadividendpershareforeachoftheEB sheholds.

Selling equity to the savers delivers the shadow benefit of more equity but reduces the banker’s share of future dividends, thus changing the incentive to monitor.

supply schedule of the savers.

Theonlydifferenceisthatthe planner will also internalize the effect of her decisions on the equity supply schedule and will also have two additional optimality conditions for ES and P (the secondary equity price is substituted outinthebudgetsets).

ES ES Theabilitytochoosethelevelofoutsideequityintroducesanadditionalintermediationmargin. To see this fix the assets mix, i.e., the investment-liquidity margin, and also fix the liabilities mix, i.e., the equity-deposits margin. Then, one can additionally use the balance sheet and incentive compatibility constraints to express all variables in terms of the amount of outside equity issued. In other words, the banker can scale up or down the level of credit extension and bank size by choosing different levels of outside equity even if the marginal relationship between liquid and illiquid assets and between equity and deposits is fixed. One way to express this margin is to combine the optimality conditions for outside equity and inside equity. We will refer to it as the equity-mixmargin,denotedbyEE. Thebankerandtheplannerwillhavedifferentincentiveswhen choosingbetweeninsideandoutsideequity. Hence,thereisanadditionalwedgebetweentheprivate andplanningsolutionontopofILIQ andED inequations(38)and(39): wedge wedge EE =EE +EE . (B.26) sp B wedge The wedge in (B.26) represents a distortion in the equity mix or, as discussed above, in the scaleofcreditintermediationchosenbythebankerversustheplanner. Indeed,weshowinthenext sectionthatusualprudentialtoolsareinsufficienttocorrectthisthirdmargin,thoughtheILIQand EDmarginscanbecorrected. TheEE marginitcanbeaddressedwithtargetedcorrectivetaxes. B.5 Numericalexample This section presents a numerical example for the equilibrium in the extended model. Table B.4 shows the parameterization of the exogenous variables, which have been chosen such that it is optimal for the private economy and the planner, at least for some weights, to invest in outside 19
equity. Table B.5 reports the private equilibrium as well as the planner’s solutions for different weightsinthesocialwelfarefunction. TableB.6reportstheeffectsofindividualregulations. The planner chooses to raise outside equity as long as the weight on entrepreneurs is high enough (w ≥0.5 in this example). The reason is that raising outside equity reduces the reliance E on deposits, which reduces the need for holding liquidity and allows for more credit extension. In addition,thelowerdemandfordepositssuppressesdepositratesandallowstheplannertosetlower loan rates given the intermediation spread required to satisfy the banker’s incentive compatibility constraint. These effects are beneficial for entrepreneurs, but reduce savers’ utility. Hence, the plannerwillchoosetoraiseoutsideequitywhenw ishighenough. Forlowerw ,theplannerwill E E notchoosetoraiseoutsideequityandtheanalysisisthesameasinthebaselinemodel. Therestoftheconclusionsderivedinsections3.3and4continuetoholdintheextendedmodel. To summarize a few, the planner chooses both higher liquidity and capital ratios to address the distorted investment-liquidity and equity-deposits margins.5 The run probability goes down and liquidity provision is higher in the planner’s solution. As in the baseline model, the welfare of savers and entrepreneurs improves, while the banker is driven to her participation constraint. The total surplus created by the planner is positive. Moreover, the planner chooses higher common equitycapital,fewerliquidassetholdingsandhigherinvestmentwhentheweightonentrepreneurs ishigher,andviceversa. Finally,theimpactofindividualregulationsissimilartothatinthebaseline model. Extending the analysis in section 4.5 to three intermediation margins, three independent tools are, in principle, needed to replicate the planner’s solution when ES >0. However, the tools need to be jointly binding, which is not the case for any of the combinations of the four capital and liquidity regulations discussed in section 4.5. Instead, corrective (Pigouvian) taxes can be used in combination with a capital and a liquidity tool to replicate the planner’s solution. These taxes can affect marginal decisions, but the tax proceeds are assumed to be fully rebated to agents in a lump-sum fashion in order to eliminate any income implications. Despite the fact that such taxes mayseemunrealisticfromthelensofactualpolicyimplementation,theycanpointtothedirection that the additional distortion operates. For example, a capital requirement and a liquidity tool can be combined with a corrective tax levied on inside equity to push relatively more outside equity intothebankandbringthescaleofcreditintermediationdowntodesirablelevels. Alternatively, a leveragerequirementandaliquiditytoolcanbeusedincombinationtoacorrectivetaxonthetotal sizeofthebank(orjustdeposits)topushthescaleofcreditintermediationdown. Overall,thethird intermediationmargindeterminesthescaleofcreditintermediation,becausethebankercandecide on the level of equity issued to scale up their balance sheet. Given regulations that pin down the othertwomargins,atargetedtoolisneededtocontrolthesizeofthebank. 5For wE ∈[0.2,0.4], where the planner sets ES=0, the capital ratio in the planner’s solution is lower than in the private equilibrum. This does not mean that the planner chooses a lower capital ratio compared to an LCR regulated economy,sincethedropincapitalisduetothebigincreaseinliquidity. 20

abstract = {We modify the Diamond and Dybvig (1983) model of banking to jointly study various regulations in the presence of credit and run risk. Banks choose between liquid and illiquid assets on the asset side, and between deposits and equity on the liability side. The endogenously determined asset portfolio and capital structure interact to support credit extension, as well as to provide liquidity and risk-sharing services to the real economy. Our modifications create wedges in the asset and liability mix between the private equilibrium and a social planner's equilibrium. Correcting these distortions requires the joint implementation of a capital and a liquidity regulation. Accessible materials (.zip)},
