In Search of a Risk-free Asset

Abstract

I examine the role of costly consumer search for the pricing of insured deposits, which is characterized by a large dispersion of offer rates, negative spreads over Treasuries, and upward rigid adjustments following increases in the federal funds rate. Estimates of a model of costly search reveal a large fraction of high-search-cost and a small declining fraction of low-search-cost depositors. The large fraction of high-search-cost depositors, composed mostly of elderly and less financially sophisticated households, grants banks monopoly power and allows for the low interest rate pass-through. The predictions of the estimated model are consistent with responses in the Survey of Consumer Finances to questions related to financial sophistication, search for investment return, and deposit allocations across multiple bank accounts. The model also reveals a non-monotone relationship between bank entry, deposit rates, and consumer surplus.

1 Introduction Since the seminal work by Stigler (1961), it is well understood that even small search costs can generate first-order effects in the behavior of prices, quantities, and welfare in otherwise homogeneous product markets with a large number of competitors. I study the systematic violation of the law of one price in the market for retail FDIC-insured certificates of deposit (CD), or time deposits—a component of the M2 monetary aggregate and a close substitute for a Treasury security, a widely used proxy for a nominally risk-free asset. On average, banks pay significantly lower rates on time deposits as compared to matched-maturity Treasurybondsindicatingthepresenceofsignificantmonopolypower. Furthermore, within narrowly defined geographic markets, there is an economically significant rate dispersion. Finally, depositratesadjustrigidlyandasymmetricallytochangesinmarketrates—deposit rates respond sluggishly to increases and adjust flexibly to decreases in Treasury yields. These patterns can be observed in Figure (1) and are documented in detail in Section (2). To rationalize the observed pricing facts, I develop a model of competition for deposits with heterogeneous search cost investors based on the mixed strategies equilibrium of Burdett and Judd (1983). The model and estimation framework builds on earlier work on nonsequential consumer search with heterogeneous search cost by Janssen and Moraga-Gonz´alez (2004), Hong and Shum (2006), Moraga-Gonz´alez and Wildenbeest (2008), Moraga-Gonz´alez, S´andor, and Wildenbeest (2013), and Moraga-Gonz´alez, S´andor, and Wildenbeest (2017), and differs from the original Burdett-Judd model along three dimensions. First, there is a finite number of firms (banks). Second, search costs are heterogeneous, and, third, demand for time deposits is price-elastic and determined by a consumption-savings decision of households. Differences in search costs lead to endogenous market segmentation according to the optimal investors’ search intensity. Segments with high search costs remain rationally uninformed about the presence of better returns and inactive in terms of shopping for rates. The relative size of uninformed investors determines the equilibrium price dispersion, monopoly profits, and the degree of pass-through of wholesale interest rates to deposit rates. The elasticity of deposit demand is determined by the intertemporal elasticity of substitution of depositors who solve a consumption-savings decision problem taking into account their optimal search effort and expected return on savings. The model is estimated with a maximum likelihood proposed by Moraga-Gonz´alez and Wildenbeest (2008). The advantage of this approach is that the estimation of the search cost distribution relies only on the observed deposit rates and does not require information on quantities. Furthermore, the estimation also uncovers the underlying marginal costs of supplying deposits for which there is no readily available empirical proxy. The search 2

cost estimates reveal a bimodal distribution of search costs with two distinct groups of investors—an inactive group with high search costs and an active group with low search costs. More than one third of investors have high enough search cost, so that they do not shop for rates but accept the rate offered from their main bank. The magnitude of search costs for these inactive investors range from 30 basis points to as high as 140 basis points or more. Over the sample period, a significant fraction of high-search-cost investors switches between examining only one offer and comparing the offers of at most two banks. Theactiveinvestorshavelowenoughsearchcosts,andareabletoidentifyandactonthe best rates in their market. This segment gradually declines during the sample period from slightly above 10 percent in 1997 to below 5 percent in 2016. The trend is puzzling, because over the period, there has been rapid introduction of information technologies such as rate comparison websites or mobile banking that should have eased information gathering and reduced transaction costs of opening and maintaining multiple deposit accounts. I provide two potential explanation for the observed trends in the composition of search costs. First, using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances, I document that households who invest in certificates of deposit are mostly elderly households. Compared to younger households, elderly households have adopted the Internet at a much slower pace and their Internet use remains low. This could explain why the introduction of technologies such as rate comparison websites or mobile banking have not produced a measurable effect on search costs in these markets and, hence, on the pricing of deposits. Regressionresults at the MSA level confirm that the share of households of age 65 and above is a significant determinant for the presence of high-search-cost depositors and low search intensities across geographic deposit markets. Second, the exit of low-search-cost investors from the market of time deposits could be explained by the increasing demand for accounts in retail money market funds that offer higher returns. Such an exit of low-search-cost investors complements findings in related study by Hortac¸su and Syverson (2004), who attribute the existence of sizable dispersion in fees charged by retail mutual funds and the proliferation of such funds to the entry of novice investors. These developments in the retail mutual fund industry could be related to the exit of low-search-cost investors from time deposits and their entry into mutual funds, where those novice investors face large information costs. To test this hypothesis, I provide evidence that banks have used their affiliated money market mutual funds to price discriminate between high-search-cost depositors, who continued to invest in time deposits, and the active segment of depositors, who were steered into bank-affiliated money funds. Thedocumenteddepositpricingfactscontributetopreviousempiricalstudiesofdeposit pricing. In particular, Diebold and Sharpe (1990) examine the pass-through of wholesale interest rates into the pricing of retail deposit rates in the immediate post-Regulation Q 4

periodandarethefirsttodocumenttherigidresponseofretaildepositratestothevariation in the wholesale market interest rates.1 Hannan and Berger (1991) and Neumark and Sharpe (1992) document the asymmetric rigidity of deposit rates to changes in banks’ marginal cost of funds and relate the magnitude of these rigidities to the degree of local market competition. Driscoll and Judson (2013) test theories of price rigidity related to menu costs. Their conclusion is that the existing models based on firm menu costs face a challenge in fitting some of the unique characteristics of banks’ rate-setting behavior. Unlike the existing literature, the focus of this work is on the time-varying market-level rate dispersion, which in the context of search costs is intimately related to the degree of interest rate pass-through and monopoly profits. The most closely related work is Honka, Horta¸csu, and Vitorino (2016), which examines the effect of advertisement on shopping for bank deposits and estimates the underlying search cost distribution. However, their survey dataarelimitedtoasinglepointintimeinalow-interest-rateenvironmentwithcompressed rate dispersion and their work does not study pass-through and its determinants. The stylized facts on the pricing of deposits resemble those of retail consumer goods. For example, Bils and Klenow (2004) document price rigidity for many consumer goods and services that lasts for more than 4 months. Lach (2002) documents that the pricing of homogeneous retail goods in Israel exhibits persistent price dispersion and constant repositioning of shops’ price rankings very similar to the one documented here. The asymmetric adjustment of rates is also reminiscent of pricing of retail goods such as gasoline as discussed in Tappata (2009). Kaplan and Menzio (2015) present evidence based on U.S. household-level transactions data that there is persistent price dispersion even for identical retail goods across stores and over time within the same store. They also document heterogeneity in shopping behavior across different households based on age and employment status reflecting heterogeneity in search costs based on marginal value of time. Finally, understanding the mechanism behind banks’ monopoly power is important beyond deposit markets. Recent work by Duffie and Krishnamurthy (2016), Drechsler, Savov, and Schnabl (2017), Brunnermeier and Koby (2018), and Xiao (2020) shows that incomplete interest pass-through has a first-order effect on monetary policy transmission through banks’ and nonbanks’ balance sheets. The mechanisms for generating monopoly profits and incomplete pass-through in these studies, however, are based on product differentiation and monopolistic competition. In contrast, I propose a novel mechanism based on endogenous search and document that, conditioning on measures of market concentration, consumer search has an independent and economically significant effect on rate dispersion, monopoly 1The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 gradually removed all restrictions on interest rates paid on savings accounts and time deposits by 1986. In addition, in 1990, changes in Regulation D lifted the requirement for banks to hold reserves against time deposits. Finally, in 2011, restrictions on payment of interest on demand deposits were removed. 5

profits, and interest rate pass-through. I examine those issues in detail through a set of counterfactual exercises in sections 4.7 and 4.8. Unlike a Cournot model of competition assumed in the literature, increases in the number of bank competitors does not always benefit depositors and could lead to increases in deposit rate dispersion and declines in the average deposit rates. 2 Stylized facts on deposit pricing 2.1 Data Information on deposit rates comes from a proprietary database constructed from weekly industry surveys gathered by RateWatch since 1997. The data contain branch-level deposit rates of over 10,000 FDIC-insured commercial banks in more than 80,000 branch offices covering all major metropolitan statistical areas (MSA). The survey represents more than 90 percent of deposits at FDIC-insured banks.2 I supplement these data with information on industry concentration from the Summary of Deposits database (SOD). Balance sheet andincomestatementinformationisconstructedfromtheReportsofConditionandIncome (alsoknownasCallReports),aswellasfromtheconsolidatedbankholdingcompanyreports (FR Y-9C). The Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) provides household-level information on financial asset holdings and allocations of deposits across financial institutions. MSAlevel demographic and income information is obtained from the Census Bureau. Microlevel data on money market mutual funds are obtained from iMoneyNet.3 2.2 Dispersion decomposition To understand the sources of dispersion documented in Figure (1), let us first define the offer rate of the branches of bank j ∈ {1,2,..,N }, located in geographic market m ∈ t {1,2,...,M} in period t as R , where N is the number of banks in period t and M is j,m,t t the number of markets. Next, let us define the overall R¯ , the bank {R¯ }Nt , and the t j,t j=1 market-level {R¯ }M average offer rates. Then, the total variation in rates at a point m,t m=1 in time, defined as the sum of squared deviations of each bank rate from the overall mean 2See Appendix A.1 for further details on the scope of the data 3RateWatch deposit rate data http://www.rate-watch.com/; Summary of Deposit data http://www2. fdic.gov/sod/;CallReportsandbankholdingcompanydatahttps://cdr.ffiec.gov/public/;Surveyof ConsumerFinanceshttps://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scfindex.htm;CensusBureaudatahttp: //www.census.gov/main/www/access.html; iMoneyNet data https://www.mfanalyzer.com/ 6

Analogously, the second decomposition breaks down total variation into within- and across-markets variation. Table (1) shows that more than 90 percent of the overall variation in rates can be attributed to differences in rates across banks, and less than 10 percent can be attributed to differences in rates of the same bank across different markets. Similarly, the market-based decomposition shows that most of the total variation is due to dispersion in rates across banks within the same market, and less than 20 percent of the variation in rates is due to differences in median rates across markets.

The last four columns present the same summary statistics for the difference between the 95th and the 5th percentiles of rates within markets. Compared to the median rate, within-market rate dispersion is economically significant. For example, the weighted average 12-month rate is 375 basis points, whereas the range of rates between the 95th and the 5th percentiles is as high as 222 basis points. An investor starting with an offer in the 5th percentile can gain $222 in interest income on every $10,000, by identifying and depositing at the bank in the 95th percentile. Although the median rate increases and rate dispersion decreases with maturity, incentives to search are even higher for longer 7

maturities. For the 5-year CD, the weighted-average within-market difference between the 95th and the 5th percentiles implies an overall gain in interest payments of $765 on every $10,000.

If held until maturity, an FDIC insured CD is a nominally riskless investment similar to a Treasury bond.4 CDs differ from government bonds in terms of their taxation, liquidity, and riskiness.5 Unlike government bonds, certificates of deposits are taxed both at the state and at the federal level. Without a secondary market and with large early withdrawal penalty fees, retail CDs are significantly less liquid than a Treasury bond. Although CD contracts differ across banks in their early withdrawal penalties or minimum deposit amount, such differences are not priced. Furthermore, banks donotcompeteorpubliclyadvertisethesizeofthepenaltyfeesforearlywithdrawal,making these attributes shrouded add-on costs of this financial product. 6 Although CDs are fairly homogeneous financial products, depositors may perceive contracts offered by different banks as differentiated products. For example, the convenience of maintaining a single deposit account, the location of a banks’ branches or the customer 4Even if a bank fails, the FDIC takes over the bank in receivership that allows for continued access to insured deposits by either repaying existing insured depositors or transferring the deposits to another bank in an assisted merger and acquisition. 5Certificates of deposits are offered in small denomination with balances below $100,000 and in large (jumbo)denominationwithbalancesabove$100,000. TheFDICinsurancelimitperdepositorperbankwas set to $100,000 in 1980 and was changed to $250,000 in October 2008. 6Analysis in section (A.1.3) of the online appendix shows that the correlation between offer rates and nonprice terms are very low. Gabaix and Laibson (2006) introduces a theory of information suppression (shrouding) in competitive markets with consumer myopia and provides examples of shrouding in other markets. 8

service offered by the bank are valuable for transaction accounts. Depositors may also demand such services for their investment accounts such as CDs. Absent transaction level data, it is hard to test how consumer preferences over these attributes affect time deposit rates. Instead, I do a simple test if bank and bank-market fixed-effects determine a measurable fraction of the variation in rates.7 In addition, I control for the level of interest rates with the LIBOR rate and the coefficient on LIBOR measures the degree of interest rate pass-through.8 To proxy for differences in services offered by a bank in a market relative to its competitors in that market, I use two additional variables. The first is the deviation of bank j’s number of branches B in market m from the average number of branches j,m,t per bank in the market Bj,m,t−Bm,t. The second proxy is the size of the bank relative to the Bm,t average size of banks in the market Aj,t−Am,t. Am,t Table(3)presentstheresultsfromfourregressionsforthe12-monthcontract.9 Thefirst specificationregressesbankofferratesonthetimeseriesofthe12-monthUSDdenominated LIBOR rate. This regression can explain close to 90 percent of the total variation of rates over the sample period. The remaining 10 percent represent cross-sectional dispersion in rates which remains sizeable. The last two rows of the table present the standard deviation and the difference between the 95th and the 5th percentiles for 2006, a year with high crosssectional dispersion. The dispersion measure is 2.37 percentage points and is comparable in magnitude to the average dispersion reported in Table (2). The remaining specifications in Table (3) explore the determinants of the cross-sectional dispersion in rates after controlling for the time-series variation. The second specification adds the two bank controls, which are both statistically significant and, as expected, affect negatively the offer rate. For example, a bank that has two times more branches than the averagebankinagivenmarketoffers5basispointslowerratethantheaveragebank. Abank that is twice as large as the average bank offers 1 basis points lower rates. Although the two bank controls are statistically significant, they only marginally improve the goodness-of-fit of the model or reduce the cross-sectional dispersion of rates. Finally, specifications (3) and (4) add bank fixed-effects and an interaction between bank fixed-effects and market fixedeffects, respectively. The bank fixed-effects should capture any unobserved heterogeneity in service quality offered by banks that is not represented by the branch count and the asset measures. The interaction between the bank and the market fixed-effects allows for those service qualities to vary within a bank across markets. By adding the bank fixedeffects, the cross-sectional dispersion in the residual declines little from 2.37 to 1.92 and 7Such approach has been used by Sorensen (2000) and Lach (2002) using prices of prescription drugs andgroceries, respectively.

All in all, while bank service quality both observable and unobservable appears to play a role in determining relative pricing of CDs, it explains only a relatively small fraction of the overall variation in rates. 2.4 Asymmetric rate adjustments While deposit rates adjust relatively flexibly when the target federal funds rate decreases, adjustmentsarerigidinperiodswhenthetargetincreases. ThisfactissummarizedinTable (4), which shows the quartiles of durations between rate adjustments observed across banks for three regimes of monetary policy: a decreasing, constant, and increasing target federal funds rate. The median duration of rate adjustments is 6 weeks during periods of an increasing target, slightly lower than the 7 weeks during periods when the target remains unchanged. In 10

The sample period is 1-January-1997 - 30-June-2011. Source: RateWatch contrast, when the target decreases, the median duration is 3 weeks. All maturities display asymmetric adjustments. However, longer maturities are more flexible in all three regimes. A further observation from this table is that rate adjustments vary considerably among banks. Some banks adjust their rates quite flexibly while others adjust quite rigidly. For example, the 75th percentile bank kept its rates on 3-month CDs unchanged for as long as 16 weeks during monetary policy tightening, while the 25th percentile bank adjusted its deposit rates with a lag of one week.

During periods of tightening, the median fraction of adjusters is around 12 percent, only slightly higher than the 11 percent in periods of constant target federal funds rate. This 11

fraction increases to 20 percent during periods of monetary policy easing. Unlike the durations of rate adjustments, synchronization of rate adjustments are about the same across maturities. 2.5 Rank persistence of bank offers For consumer search to play a meaningful role, it must be the case that the ranking of banks’ offer rates changes over time in a given market. With such repositioning in the distribution, depositors may not rely on past information when choosing a bank to invest in and need to conduct costly search to determine which bank offers the best return. To test if such repositioning occurs and to gauge its magnitude, I examine two measures of the persistence of a bank offer rate relative to its competitors in a market. The first is the duration that a bank rate spends in a given quartile of the distribution of rates in each market. The second measure is based on the transition probabilities of an offer rate from one quartile to another. Table (6) shows the fraction of time spent in each quartile for the 3-month and the 12-month contracts over six time intervals. Roughly a quarter of the observations remain in a given quartile for only a month and over sixty percent of observations change quartile within 3 months. If a depositor invests in a 3-month CD at a bank and suppose the offer rate is in the fourth quartile, at maturity, there is more than 60 percent chance that this bank’s new offer rate will be at a lower quartile. A comparison between the 3-month and the 12-month contract show that the distribution of durations is similar across maturities.

Markets with at least 20 banks are considered. Table (7) shows estimates of the transition probabilities across the quartiles of the offer rate distribution. The diagonal elements of the transition matrices show the probability that a bank rate remains in the same quartile after 1-month and 12-month horizons. For example, theprobabilitythatabankremainsinthefirstquartileis50percentover1-month 12

horizon and 30 percent over a 12-month horizon. The persistence is higher for the middle quartiles than it is for the smallest and the largest. If a rate starts in the first quartile, it is more likely to transition to the third quartile indicating a potentially large increase in the rate. Similarly, if a rate starts in the fourth quartile, it is more likely for this rate to drop to the second quartile. The evidence in this section points to the fact that even with the observed rate rigidity, there is an active repositioning of banks’ offer rates within the distribution of rates within markets. This makes it hard for a depositor who observed offer rates of certain banks in the past to infer their position in the distribution of offer rates in thefuture.

Markets with at least 20 banks are considered. 2.6 Interest rate pass-through and rate dispersion Deposit spreads over Treasuries are large, time-varying, and increasing with higher market rates. This fact is illustrated in Figure (2), which plots the spread over a 3-month Treasury and a measure of dispersion for the 3-month CD against the level of the target federal funds rate. In the high interest rate environments of 1997-2000 and 2006-2007, when the target federal funds rate was 5 percentage points or higher, the average spread on the 3month CD was negative 100 basis points or lower, and the difference between the 95th and the 5th percentiles exceeded 150 basis points.10 These negative spreads translate into potentially sizable accounting profits. For example, based on the outstanding amounts on banks’ balance sheets and the corresponding spreads over Treasuries, collectively, banks earned at least $15 billion in reduced interest payments from time deposits alone or 11 10An incomplete pass-through of deposit rates is present to an even higher degree for other deposit categories such as savings and interest checking accounts as documented by Driscoll and Judson (2013) and Drechsler, Savov, and Schnabl (2017). 13

The market for certificates of deposit is well suited to address these questions. First, a CD is a relatively simple financial instrument that has undergone little financial innovation over the years.12 Therefore, it requires little financial sophistication to evaluate the desir- 11Mosttimedepositshaveremainingmaturitybelowoneyear,whichjustifiesthetreatmentofoutstanding amounts as flows over an annual horizon. Furthermore, for the purposes of this calculation, I treat the cost of maintaining a branch network as a sunk cost in the short-run. 12Inrecentyears,somebankshaveintroducednewtimedepositproductsthatincludetheoptiontoadjust 14

ability of the offer of one bank over another. With deposit insurance, the decision should be entirely based on the offered rate. However, if there are costs of acquiring information on offer rates at different banks, households would not necessarily be able to pick the best return on their savings. Even if a household could observe all the relevant information, they could still decide to stick with their main bank if transaction and convenience costs are too high to open an account with another bank. To begin, we need to distinguish between financial sophistication and the preference for search for return. To do so, I construct a financial sophistication score using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF). The surveys collect information on households’ financial decisions and resulting portfolios. The score is calculated as the first principal component of a set of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of households. The variables included are: Excellent understanding of the SCF questions; Reliance on advice from a financial professional; Willingness to undertake above average financial risks; Financial budgeting horizon exceeding 5 years; Direct ownership of stocks or stock mutual funds; Ownership of a brokerage account; Ownership of money market mutual funds or other mutual funds; and Diversity of financial asset holdings measured by a HHI index. Table (8) provides summary statistics for households grouped by the quartiles of the financial sophistication score from the lowest in column 1 to the highest in column 3. As a comparison, column 4 examines the group of households who own a CD and column 5 shows the characteristics of the average household in the survey. In addition, the table shows the preference of risk-taking, the preference for shopping for investment return, and the means of gather information about financial returns. High financial sophistication households are slightly older, twice as likely to have a college degree, have substantially higher average incomes and net worth, and earn a higher share of their income from financial assets.13 By construction of the score, those households have an excellent understanding of the SCF questionnaire, have more diverse portfolios of financial assets, hold higher shares of risky assets such as stocks and corporate bonds, and are more willing to take above-average financial risks. In comparison, households who invest in CDs are near retirement age and 10 years older than the average. Even though some CD holders have high sophistication scores, the average for this group is around the medianofthescoredistribution. WhileCDholdershavehigherincomesandnet-worththan average, theyaremuchlesswealthythanthehighsophisticationgroup. CDholdersarealso significantly less likely to take above-average financial risks and hold a much higher share ratesduringthelifetimeofthecontract.

Source: Survey of Consumer Finances, 2007 of their financial assets in deposits. Only a fifth of these households report a preference for a great deal of shopping for investment return, which is about the same as the average. In addition, only a quarter of CD holders report using the Internet for investment decisions, which is slightly below the average and about half of the share that uses the Internet among the high sophistication group. When comparing the preference for shopping for investment return, there is very little variation across the quartiles of the financial sophistication score. That said, most of the variation occurs within the means of obtaining information—for example, the likelihood that a household uses the Internet or relies on professional advice increases with financial sophistication. The results from this analysis lead to the conclusion that the preference for search for 16

higher return is distinct from financial sophistication. The notion that search is a distinct activity is consistent with evidence in Honka, Hortac¸su, and Vitorino (2016). They use confidential survey data to breakdown shopping for deposit rates into distinct stages—an awareness phase, a search phase, and a choice phase. On average, households are aware of close to 7 banks operating in their local geographic market and examine offers of at least 2 banks. Consistent with active search, Honka, Horta¸csu, and Vitorino (2016) document that 52 percent of consumers end up choosing the bank with the highest interest rate among their consideration set, while 31 percent of consumers choose the second highest interest rate bank.

Next, search for better return implies that depositors should be willing to buy CDs from banksdifferentfromtheirmaincheckingaccountbank. AccordingtoFigure(3), thisindeed is the case for many households in the SCF. While most households hold one CD with a single bank, about 45 percent invest in a CD with a bank different from their main checking account bank. In addition, around 20 percent of households hold multiple CDs with more than one bank. Some households hold as many as 20 different CD contracts with as many as 6 banks or more. An additional reason for having multiple accounts with different banks is the FDIC insurance limit. If an investor’s total deposits at a bank exceed the limit, that investor 17

Source: Survey of Consumer Finance faces the credit risk of that bank for the uninsured portion. Opening additional accounts with different banks allows diversification of this credit risk as each new account is insured up to the limit. For example, an investor with $500,000 in a single bank account will have half of that amount uninsured. By opening and placing $250,000 in a second bank, a depositor can achieve full deposit insurance.14 Even in the case of households looking to place large deposits in multiple banks to increase insurance coverage, they should optimally choose banks offering higher rates. 14Shy,Stenbacka,andYankov(2016)presentevidencefordemandofmultipledepositaccountsduetothe partial deposit insurance design and examine the effect of the partial insurance design on competition. 18

To disentangle the two motives for multiple deposit accounts, Table (9) presents results from a probit regression on whether a household owns CDs with one or several banks different from their main checking account bank. Households with total deposits exceeding the deposit insurance limit are indeed more likely to hold CDs with multiple banks, and, up to2004,lesslikelytoholdmultipleaccountsiftheyhaveajointaccount,whichincreasesthe effective coverage.15 The results are consistent with the limited deposit insurance motive. Conditioning on this motive, higher financial sophistication and the preference for shopping a great deal for investment returns both increase the likelihood that a household buys CDs from multiple banks. The use of the Internet for investment decisions only appears to be significant in the 2013 survey. It indicates that more tech-savvy households are more likely to have multiple deposit accounts, perhaps due to both lower search costs and lower transaction costs of maintaining multiple accounts with different banks.

Panel A of Figure (4) shows that low sophistication households with preference for a great deal of shopping for investment return are more likely to have more bank accounts in the high dispersion years of 1998 and 2007 as compared to the low dispersion years of 2004 and 2013. In contrast, Panel B shows that high sophistication households have a higher number of bank accounts irrespective of their preference for shopping for investment return or rate dispersion. The average number of bank accounts for the financial sophisticates increases in the two surveys following the 2007 survey. 15TheFDICallowstheinsurancecoveragetobeextendedtojointaccountownershipforasingleinstitution (see http://www.fdic.gov/deposit/). 19

All in all, the stylized facts on household demand for CDs are consistent with the presence of active search for better returns on deposits by a subset of households who either have higher preference for shopping for higher return or are wealthier and more financially sophisticated. This heterogeneity in underlying search technologies and preferences are captured in a stylized way in the model presented in the next section. 3 Model of heterogeneous search cost investors 3.1 Consumption-savings decision Each period, a unit mass of investors enters the market for time deposits with A liquid 0 wealth stored in a checking account with a bank. Depositors choose how much assets to leaveinaliquidcheckingaccount, whichyieldsutilitythroughfundingcurrentconsumption c ,andhowmuchtosaveA tofundconsumptioninsomefutureperiodτ ≥ 1. Theoptimal 0 τ consumption-savings problem is ν (R,A ) = max u(c ,c ) (2) τ 0 Aτ 0 τ subject to: c = A −A , 0 0 τ c = R A , τ τ τ where utility takes the following constant elasticity of substitution form u(c ,c ) =   (cid:110) c 0 1− σ 1 +βτ([E(c1 τ −γ)]1− 1 γ)(1− σ 1) (cid:111) σ− σ 1 if σ ̸= 1 (3) 0 τ  lnc 0 +βτ ln(Ec τ 1−γ)1− 1 γ if σ = 1. The utility specification depends on three parameters: the discount factor 0 < β < 1, the relative risk-aversion γ > 0, and the inter-temporal elasticity of substitution σ > 0. If an investor invests in a risky asset, her wealth and consumption are stochastic and ([E(c1 τ −γ)]1− 1 γ) captures the certainty equivalent to a risky-asset lottery. Proposition 1 The solution of the consumption-savings problem takes the following closed form c = h (R)×A , 0 τ 0 c = R(1−h (R))×A , τ τ 0 A = (1−h (R))×A . τ τ 0 The marginal propensity to consume h (R) is τ 20

If σ < 2, then ϕ(·) is concave. Proof The results are straightforward to show and rely on the homogeneity of degree one of the utility function. If σ exceeds one, then the substitution effect dominates the income effect and the marginal propensity to consume is decreasing in the interest rate. Conversely, if σ < 1, the income effect dominates and the marginal propensity to consume is increasing in R. 3.2 Costly search Although investors are aware of the offer distribution, they have no prior information about the specific rates of each bank.16 Information gathering is costly as each depositor faces search cost ξ ≥ 0 per bank offer and unit of wealth. Search costs are distributed among investors according to a known population distribution F (ξ) over a range [0,∞). Investors ξ search non-sequentially by optimally choosing a fixed sample of bank offers.17 The first offer is costless, which ensures that there is full participation even for depositors with very high search costs. The total search cost for a sample of n offers is (n−1)×ξ. LetusdefinethehighestrateinarandomsampleofnratesasR (n). Thecumulative max probability function of R (n) is Pr(R (n) ≤ R) = F (R)n. It is easy to show that the max max R 16The assumption that an investor knows the distribution of offers is rather strong. Rothschild (1974) relaxes this assumption and shows that optimal search strategies under unknown price distribution are qualitatively similar to strategies when the price distribution is known. However, Koulayev (2013) shows that not accounting for the uncertainty in price distribution could result in biases in search cost estimates. 17The assumption of a non-sequential search could be justified by the presence of economies of scale of search. Also, recent evidence in De los Santos, Hortacsu, and Wildenbeest (2012) shows that the nonsequential fixed sample search model better describes actual search behavior. Morgan and Manning (1985) derive conditions under which different modes of search are optimal. 21

expected value of R (n) is increasing in the sample size n, while its variance is decreasing max in n. Optimal search selects the sample size that maximizes the expected utility per dollar of wealth (cid:110)(cid:90) Rmax (cid:111) n∗(ξ) = argmax ϕ(R)nF (R)n−1f (R)dR−(n−1)×ξ , (7) 1<n≤N R R Rmin where search costs enter linearly in the utility. Optimal search is determined by a trade-off between the disutility of search captured by the search costs and the gains in utility from bothahigherexpectedrateaswellasloweruncertaintyabouttheratewhensamplingmore offers. Next, let us define the marginal value of information from increasing the sample size by an extra offer given that k offers have been sampled, (cid:90) Rmax (cid:110) (cid:111) ∆ = ϕ(R) (k+1)F (R)k −kF (R)k−1 f (R)dR. (8) k R R R Rmin Integration by parts leads to an equivalent representation, (cid:90) Rmax (cid:110) (cid:111) ∆ = ϕ′(R) 1−F (R) F (R)kdR, (9) k R R Rmin which reveals that the marginal value of information ∆ is a decreasing sequence in the k sample size k.18 Once incurred search costs are sunk, and investors can always choose to invest in their outside option. As shown in the lemma below, this implies that the reservation deposit rate is common to all investors and independent of their idiosyncratic search costs. Lemma 1 IfarandomlydrawndepositratefromtheofferdistributionF (R)ispreferredto R investing in an outside option, then the reservation deposit rate and the choice to participate do not depend on individual search costs. Proof Theresultsfollowfromthelinearityoftheindirectutilitywithrespecttowealthand the zero cost of observing one offer. Let the outside option have indirect utility V0 while Vd is the expected utility from one deposit offer. The indirect utility with optimal search 1 Vd for any search cost ξ dominates Vd. The condition for participation can be written n∗(ξ) 1 as Vd ≥ Vd ≥ V0. Participation in the deposit market, therefore, does not depend on n∗(ξ) 1 the individual search cost ξ. □ 18This follows from the fact that F (R)≤1 and ϕ′(R)>0. R 22

It is easy to compute that the reservation rate for a log-normally distributed risky asset with expected return R¯ and return variance ν2 is R˙ = R¯ ×e−γ 2 ×ν2 . The more risk-averse depositors are (i.e. higher γ), the lower deposit rates they would be willing to accept. We can group depositors into segments according to the intensity of their search efforts. Depositors with search costs higher than ξ > ∆ optimally choose not to shop for rates and 1 obtainanofferratefromonebank. Depositorswithsearchcostsintherange∆ ≤ ξ < ∆ k k−1 examineoffersofk banks. Finally, depositorswithsearchcostslowerthanξ < ∆ choose N−1 to examine the offers of all banks. Given a search cost distribution, we can compute the size of each segment as follows q = 1−F (∆ ) 1 ξ 1 . . . q = F (∆ )−F (∆ ) (10) k ξ k−1 ξ k . . . N−1 (cid:88) q = F (∆ ) = 1− q . N ξ N−1 j j=1 3.3 Deposit pricing A bank would always offer a rate R that is at least as high as the reservation rate R˙. Depositors who sample k offers choose this bank’s offer if the other k−1 offers are inferior. The probability of this event is F (R)k−1. Because each bank is sampled randomly, the R demand from the segment with search intensity k is (1−h(R))kF (R)k−1q . Summing N R k over all market segments and normalizing aggregate wealth to one, deposit demand is (cid:40) (1−hd(R))1 (cid:80)N kF (R)k−1q if R ≥ R˙ D(R|F (R),{q }N ) = N k=1 R k (11) R k k=1 0 if R < R˙. The deposit demand is composed of an intensive margin, that determines how much is saved, and an extensive margin, that determines the mass of depositors a bank is expected to attract with an offer rate R. The marginal cost of funds R˜ is assumed common to all banks in a given market.19 Let us define ψ(R,R˜) = (R˜−R)(1−hd(R)) to be the profit per 19The Federal Reserve directly controls the interest on the discount window as well as the interest paid on reserves, which effectively determine the marginal cost of funds of banks.

Forexample,Reinganum(1979)andMacMinn(1980) develop models with costly search in which the observed price dispersion is derived from an underlying distributionofmarginalcosts.

(12) R k k=1 N R k k=1 To price deposits, banks follow symmetric mixed strategies as in Burdett and Judd (1983). In this equilibrium, every bank is indifferent between posting any rate along the support S = [R ,R ] of the equilibrium offer rate distribution. Banks expect to earn min max positive profit and any rate outside the equilibrium support leads to strictly lower profit (cid:40) π∗ if R ∈ S π(R|F (R),{q }N ) = (13) R k k=1 < π∗ if R ∈/ S. In order to sustain equal profits, the following trade-off is at work. Higher deposit rates generate lower profits per captured depositor but attract a larger mass of depositors. The two effects exactly offset each other in equilibrium. On one hand, even if a bank posts the highest offer rate, it would not capture the entire market, as only a fraction of investors observes this rate. On the other hand, banks that offer the lowest rate still attract depositors—thosewithhighsearchcostsq whochoosetosampleonlyoneofferandhappen 1 to be unlucky in obtaining this low rate. Thelowerboundofthesupportoftheequilibriumdistributionisthelargestbetweenthe monopoly rate Rm = argmax ψ(R,R˜) and the reservation rate, R = max{R˙,Rm}. A R min bank would not post a rate lower than the reservation rate, because it would either attract no depositors or fail to maximize profits. The upper bound of the support is derived as follows. Lemma 2 The maximum rate that a bank would post in equilibrium is  R max =   ψ R˜ − − 1( ( ψ R˜ (R − m R in m , i R n ˜ ) ) (cid:80) × N k (cid:80) = q1 1 N k q q 1 k k , q R˜) i i f f σ σ ̸= = 1 1.

A unique solution max min max is guaranteed by the fact that ψ(R,R˜) is a monotone decreasing function in R. The size of banks’ monopoly power i.e. the ability to offer deposit rates below marginal cost of funds is determined by the share of high search cost investors q . To see this, let us 1 model estimates capture banks’ marginal costs. 24

This finding is consistent max min with the “Diamond paradox” (Diamond (1971)). If all investors observe only one rate, banks can sustain monopoly equilibrium by charging the monopoly rate. As there is no price dispersion, investors have no incentives to search which confirms the equilibrium. This equilibrium is overwhelmingly ruled out by the data. Alternatively, if the share of the uninformed investors is zero, q = 0, then each investor 1 observes and compares rates from at least two banks. In this environment, each bank competes in prices for every depositor with at least one more bank. This results in a Bertrand competition and the equilibrium rate distribution becomes degenerate at the marginal cost R = R = R˜. However, this is not an equilibrium outcome that would rationalize min max the existence of large price dispersion. Therefore, for a dispersed price equilibrium to exist, theremustbesomeinvestorswhoexamineonlyoneoffer0 < q < 1, andotherswhosample 1 more than one offer q > 0 for some k = 2,3,..,N.

Proposition 2 Given consumer search characterized by {q }N such that 0 < q < 1, k k=1 1 there exists a unique offer distribution F (R) that is a solution to the equilibrium condition R (13). F (R) is continuous and with connected support. R Proof To show uniqueness of the equilibrium distribution F (R), we need to examine the R equilibrium condition (13). The equilibrium profit for any offer rate R ∈ [R ,R ] must min max equal the profit achieved at the minimum rate R . We can express this condition as min follows (cid:88) N kq F (R)k−1 = (R˜−R min )(1−hd(R min ))q 1 .

The optimal savings rule is an intertemporal choice of households equivalent to postponement of current consumption to fund future consumption with principal and interest income from investments in time deposits. Taking derivatives of the optimal deposit allocation A = (1−h(R))A with respect to the deposit rate and τ 0 ∂h(R) h(R) using the fact that = (1−σ) (1−h(R)), one arrives at an empirical specification ∂R R that relates the growth in time deposits to the growth in rates ∆log(A ) = α +(σ−1)(1−s )×∆log(R )+ϵ , (20) τ,t+1 0 τ,t t t where s = Aτ,t is the share of time deposits in total deposits at a point in time and τ,t A0,t ∆log(R )isthepercentchangeinthetimedepositsrate. Theempiricalframeworkissimilar t to the estimation of the intertemporal elasticity of substitution introduced by Hall (1988) and assumes a stable relationship between expected future consumption and investments in time deposits. Estimates of the IES are presented in Table (10). The first two columns present the OLS estimates of the IES for the 6-month and 12-month CD contracts, whereas the last two columns use an instrumental variables (IV) approach. The IV regressions use exogenous variation in deposit rates coming from unexpected movements in the target federal funds rate due to monetary policy shocks identified from the federal funds futures following Kuttner (2001). A second instrument is the second lag of the growth in time deposits. TheestimatesofIESfromallspecificationsarestatisticallygreaterthanoneandsmaller than two. These estimates imply that the substitution effect dominates the income effect. This implies that the marginal propensity to save is increasing in the deposit rate and the marginal utility of wealth is increasing and concave in rates. 21Solving this system of non-linear equations using global numerical methods leads to unique solutions in most feasible parametrizations. Moraga-Gonza´lez, S´andor, and Wildenbeest (2017) apply the Brouwer fixed point theorem to show that an equilibrium exists in a Burdett-Judd model with heterogeneous search cost consumers. They show uniqueness under a specific parameterization of the search cost distribution and draw the conclusion that the lack of uniqueness in the original Burdett-Judd model is likely due to the homogeneityofsearchcosts. Derivingtheconditionsfortheexistenceofauniqueequilibriuminthismodel is beyond the scope of this paper. 27

This selection guarantees meaningful price dispersion and good coverage of banks’ branch networks. Because the average outstanding maturity of time deposits on banks’ balance sheets is 10 months, the model is estimated using offer rates for the 12month CD and the estimate of the IES in column (4) of Table (10). The estimates of the distributions of search costs for different markets in 2006 are plotted in Figure (5).

cost is about 50 basis points in the aggregate and exhibits a wide range across markets. The range of search costs also varies between zero and as high as 140 basis points or more, with some markets exhibiting less dispersed search costs, while other markets exhibiting more dispersed search costs.22 Figure 5: Estimated search cost distribution Search cost (basis points) ytilibaborp evitalumuC 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 0.1 9.0 8.0 7.0 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 ‹ D 1: 69 (bps) 5th/95th percentile Median ‹ D 2: 30 (bps) Deposit−weighted Note: ThefigureisbasedonestimatesofthesearchcostdistributionforJune2006.

The shape of the search cost distribution in most markets as well as in the aggregate is bimodal with three distinct groups of investors. The first group are investors with relatively lowsearchcostsoflessthan15basispoints. Thisgroupisaboutathirdofallinvestorswith about 12 percent of investors with search costs that are close to zero. Those are the active low-search-cost depositors that examine the offer rates of most banks in their market. The cumulative search cost distribution remains relatively flat between 15 and 30 basis points, indicating few investors with search costs in this range. The second group are investors with high search costs exceeding 69 basis points. Those are high-search-cost investors, who do not shop for rates and their share in 2006 was about 30 percent of the population of depositors. The third group of investors lies between the 22Note that in the model search costs and the marginal values of information are expressed in utils. To make the estimates easier to interpret, I convert search costs into interest rate equivalents.

In this range of search 1 2 costs, depositors compare two bank offers and this segment contains about 40 percent of the population of depositors (q ). The size of this segment of depositors is very sensitive to 2 changes in rate dispersion and increases with higher dispersion. The estimated segments of depositors and search behavior are close to the observed deposit allocations of households across multiple banks documented in the SCF shown in Figure (3). This is an encouraging validation of the methodology of estimating the search cost distribution, which relies on the deposit offer rates and does not involve quantities.

Valuesoutsidethepointestimatesareextrapolated using monotone Hermite splines. The estimated search costs vary across markets and over time. The evidence from the SCF reveals that search for better return on savings is related to an underlying set of preferences and technologies for gathering information. These preferences and technologies change slowly over long periods of time and across different generations of investors. For example, the Internet, is one such technological innovation that could have dramatically reduced search costs as well as other transaction costs of opening and maintaining accounts with different banks. The results from the SCF surveys indicate that households that use the Internet for investment decisions became increasingly more likely to own time deposit accounts with multiple banks and the effect becomes statistically significant only in the 31

2013 survey indicating a relatively slow adoption of such technologies. To examine the potential effects of the introduction of the Internet on search costs, I examine how the aggregate search cost distribution changes over time. According to a study of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, by the end of 2001, 50 percent of commercialbanksofferedsomeformofInternetbankingservices. Therefore, Iuse2001asa dividing line between the “pre-Internet” banking and the “Internet” banking periods when examiningsearchcostestimates. Figure(6)comparestheaggregatesearchcostdistribution in the high-dispersion environment of 2000 with that of 2006. Although the median search cost is identical in the two periods at about 50 basis points, the search cost distribution in 2006 features a higher share of low-search-cost investors and a lower share of investors with search costs exceeding 70 basis points. However, despite those changes, there still remains a large fraction of inactive depositors in the later part of the sample. This is consistent with the slow adoption hypothesis and evidence presented in Section (2.7), which reveals that many households do not actively use the Internet as a means to search for better return on their savings. To understand how the search cost distributions vary over time and across markets, I relate the first and second moments of the search cost distribution to market characteristics and a time trend. Table (11) summarizes the results of this analysis based on two econometric approaches. The first approach, is a two-step estimation that first constructs the mean and standard deviation of the search costs for each market and each period based on a Hermite polynomial fit to the critical points of search cost distribution. I then estimate a panel regression of the moments of the search cost distribution on market characteristics. The second approach is a single-step non-linear least squares estimation that fits a parametric distribution function, the log-normal, to the estimated critical points of the search cost distribution. The results of the two-step non-parametric analysis shows that a higher share of elderly households, those with age above 65, is associated with higher and less dispersed search costs. Inparticular,MSAareaswith10percentagepointshighershareofelderlyhouseholds have on average 1 basis points higher search costs and 1.3 basis points less dispersed searchcost distribution. Those results are consistent with the average characteristics of investors in CDs documented in Section (2.7). Markets with larger population have more dispersed search costs reflecting a more diverse groups of households. A larger population per bank is related to higher and less dispersed search costs. Markets with higher share of deposits in total income are also high search cost markets. Finally, the time trend shows a reduction over time in the average search costs and their dispersion. These time trends are consistent withtheintroductionandadoptionofInternetbankingandthechangingshapeofthesearch cost distribution illustrated in Figure (6). The overall reduction in search costs, however, 32

is relatively small. Over the 15 years of data, the average search cost has declined by about 2 basis points and the standard deviation of search costs has also declined by about 5 basis points.

Both models predict reductions in the mean and dispersion of search costs over the sample period. However, the log-normal fit shows a much smaller decreases than the 33

non-parametric approach. Those discrepancies are explained by the fact that, even though the non-parametric approach is less efficient than the parametric approach, it allows for more flexibility in fitting the underlying search cost distribution and, in particular, the distinct feature of a bimodal distribution of search costs.23 The analysis so far indicates a reduction in search costs since 2000. However, this reduction is not as dramatic as one would have anticipated given the potential cost saving potential related to the adoption of Internet and online banking. While this outcome may look surprising, it is consistent with surveys conducted by the Census Bureau on computer and Internet use by age groups. In particular, the 2010 survey shows that only 41 percent of elderly households of age 65 and above use a personal computer, and only 32 percent of these elderly households use the Internet.24 This result also confirms the stylized facts in Table (8), which documents that only a quarter of CD holders use the Internet to search for investment information, half as much as the usage reported by sophisticated investors. To the extent that elderly households constitute the bulk of the high-search-cost investors and are the largest segment investing in CDs, the low adoption rate of the Internet contributed to the relatively unchanged search cost distributions. Finally, the bimodal nature of the underlying search cost distribution captures such differences in search technologies among depositors. 4.4 Search intensity The estimates of the segments of investors based on their search intensities {q }N vary k k=1 across markets and over time. Of particular importance is the the share of uninformed or inactive investors q , whose estimates are plotted in Panel A of Figure (7). The weighted 1 averageshareofinactiveinvestorsislargeandhoversaround40percentovertheperiodfrom 1997 to 2004. The range of estimates of inactive investors across markets varies between less than 20 percent and more than 60 percent. The aggregate share increases in the low interest rate environment of 2001-04 to close to 50 percent. It then drops to less than 30 percent in the increasing and high interest rate environment of 2005-07. However, as the level and dispersion in rates decreases starting in 2008 with market interest rates hitting the zero lower bound, the incentives to search diminish and the share of inactive investors increases across all markets to reach 60 percent for the average market by the end of the sample. 23Iamthankfultoananonymousrefereeforsuggestingthisapproach.

Comparing panel A and B, the two N k=1 k segments q and q combined comprise close to 80 percent of investors in most markets. 1 2 The two segments are also strongly negatively correlated. For example, in contrast to q , 1 q increases in the high dispersion environment of 2005-07 and decreases during the low 2 dispersion environment since 2008. This tight link between the two segments is due to variation in the marginal value of information ∆ as can be seen in Figure (5). As ∆ 1 1 increases, a mass of inactive investors find it worthwhile to search for rates and compare the rates of two banks.25 The most active investors, those that examine offers of more than two banks, comprise on average 20 percent of the population. Of those, the largest segment is the lowest search costsegmentq , whichobservesandactsuponinformationonallbankoffersinthemarket. N Overthesampleperiodfrom1997to2007, thissegmentgraduallydecreasesfromaround10 percent to less than 5 percent. In lockstep with q , the average fraction of banks sampled N also gradually decreases from around 20 percent to 10 percent. The reason for that is that the marginal value of information ∆ is insensitive to rate dispersion and constant over N−1 time. Therefore, the decline q can be attributed to changes in the shape of the search cost N distribution and the fraction of low-search cost depositors as illustrated in Figure (6).

active investors. Markets with higher incomes have higher shares of q investors, but lower 2 shares of q investors. The deposit-to-income ratios do not relate to search intensities. N Finally, measures of market concentration such as the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) are not statistically significant in explaining search intensities. 4.5 Exit of low-search-cost depositors The downward trend of the share of q investors in Figure (7) indicates a compositional N change in depositor types and a potential exit of low search cost depositors. With the introduction of the Internet, it became easier for more sophisticated investors to move money in and out of their checking accounts into non-deposit products such as mutual funds or brokerage accounts. As a result, even though the overall search and transaction costs may have significantly declined, the Internet did not have a significant impact on deposit markets. Younger, wealthier, and more sophisticated households have likely exited the CD market for higher-yielding alternatives such as money market mutual accounts. The hypothesis of exit of low-search-cost depositors is consistent with the stylized facts in Table (8), which shows that high financial sophistication households, who are also twice as likely to use the Internet and professional advise when making investment decisions, are significantly more likely to own shares in money market, equity, and bond mutual funds. The exit hypothesis is also consistent with findings in Hortac¸su and Syverson (2004) who document a proliferation of S&P 500 index funds over the period 1995-2000 with significant fee dispersion. They attribute these trends to the entry of novice investors with high search costs. Although their focus is on S&P 500 index funds, they also document similar patterns of high fee dispersion in the retail money market mutual funds (MMF). The MMF industry developed as a response to binding interest-rate ceilings on deposits under Regulation Q during the high-inflation period of the late 1970s. Even after the repeal of most of Regulation Q ceilings, MMFs continue to compete with banks by providing access to a relatively safe and high-interest-earning alternative to bank deposits. The low-search-cost investors who exit the market for time deposits are the novice, relatively high-search-cost investors in the more sophisticated and complex mutual fund markets. Such heterogeneity in investor types in the MMF market is not without empirical support. Christoffersen and Musto (2002) provide evidence that money market mutual funds exploit the heterogeneity in price elasticities of investors to price discriminate between investors who withdraw from funds that increase fees and investors who remain inactive. To the extent that the heterogeneity in price elasticities is related to the heterogeneity in search costs, an inflow of novice investors in the MMF market presents an opportunity for retail MMFs to exploit a potentially less price elastic segment. To test this hypothesis, I examine bank-affiliated MMFs, which are money funds that 37

Source: iMoneyNet areadvised,managed,andsponsoredbymajorbankholdingcompanies.26 Table(13)shows that in 2006 more than $300 billion of the $950 billion retail MMFs were in bank-affiliated funds. Bank-affiliated funds attract investors through distributional channels heavily dependent on the bank adviser and much less so on unaffiliated brokers or direct channels. This allows banks to steer the active depositors into their affiliated money market funds. In contrast, non-bank affiliated MMFs attract investors either directly or through non-bank affiliated brokers and advisers. The composition of distributional channels allows banks to retain the monopoly pricing of their deposit deposit products and extend their monopoly pricing to MMF product offerings. Indeed, bank-affiliated funds charge, on average, 10 basis point higher fees as compared to unaffiliated funds. The difference is even larger for direct investments with bank-affiliated funds charging on average 25 basis points higher fees than unaffiliated funds. The dispersion in fees is also much larger for bank-affiliated as compared to unaffiliated funds across most distributional channels. For example, the dispersion in fees measured by the difference in the 95th and 5th percentiles for direct distribution channels is 137 basis points for bank-affiliated funds and only 62 for unaffiliated funds. The large dispersion in fees is consistent with the presence of search costs and monopoly mark-ups exploited by retail bank-affiliated MMFs. In contrast to retail investors, the average asset-weighted fees charged to institutional 26Kacperczyk and Schnabl (2013) document that many bank-affiliated funds received support from their bank sponsors in the market turmoil following the failure of Lehman Brothers. Many funds also changed their names to incorporate the sponsor’s name and, thus, make the affiliation more salient. 38

investors are identical for bank-affiliated and unaffiliated funds, and significantly below retail fund fees. The asset-weighted average fee is 27 basis points or more than half the average fee charged by retail funds. The magnitude of fee dispersion is similar between the bank-affiliated and unaffiliated funds indicated less heterogeneity in search costs among institutional investors.27 4.6 Asymmetric and incomplete pass-through Let us next examine how well the model matches the incomplete pass-through of changes in market rates into deposit rates. We can use equation (14) for the case of σ = 1 to obtain a closed-form expression for interest rate pass-through across the percentiles of the equilibrium offer rate distribution ∂R q max 1 ≈ 1− ∂R˜ (cid:80)N kq k=1 k (26) ∂R(z) q 1 ≈ 1− , for z ∈ [0,1]. ∂R˜ (cid:80)N kq zk−1 k=1 k Interestratepass-throughinthemodelisdeterminedbytheintensitywithwhichdepositors shop for rates. Pass-through decreases with the share of inactive depositors and declines monotonically for lower percentiles of the distribution, keeping search intensity fixed. This is consistent with the stylized facts observed in Figure (1) in which the lower percentiles of the rate distribution are relatively less sensitive to changes in market rates, whereas the upper percentiles are significantly more responsive. Furthermore, because incentives to search respond to price dispersion, pass-through in a low dispersion environment is much lower than in a high dispersion environment. To visualise the variation in pass-through, Figure (8) plots the time series variation of themodel-impliedinterestratepass-through. Pass-throughincreaseswithhigherpercentiles of the distribution. The average pass-through over the sample period for the median rate is about 50 percent, and the upper and lower quartiles are at 36 percent and 67 percent, respectively. Thoseestimatesareintheballparkofestimatesintheliterature. Forexample, Driscoll and Judson (2013) and Drechsler, Savov, and Schnabl (2017) document a passthrough of 54 percent for small time deposits. The three vertical lines indicate the beginning periods of monetary policy tightening.

The three verticallinesindicatethedatesofincreasesinthetargetfederalfundsratefollowingaperiodofconstant target. through is usually low at the start of monetary policy tightening and it was significantly lower in December 2015. The reason for this difference is that the prolonged period of very low interest rates with the federal funds rate close to its zero lower bound compressed the dispersion in deposit rates and, hence, the incentives for search as already documented in Figure (7). The reductions in pass-through is also notable for the maximum rate, which normally hovers around 90 percent, but, by December 2015, declined to about 80 percent. The model can rationalize the incomplete and asymmetric pass-through of interest rate increases and decreases documented in Section (2). 4.7 Market concentration and deposit pricing Achangeinthenumberofcompetitorswouldaffectdepositpricingonlyifitleadstochanges in the equilibrium search behavior. Because search costs are invariant to changes in the number of competitors, search behavior would change if there are significant changes in the equilibrium offer rate distribution that would alter the incentives to search. Let us examine how changes in the number of banks affects market outcomes. For this analysis, I use the estimateoftheaggregatesearchcostsbasedondatafrom2006reportedinFigure(5),which 40

reveals dispersed search costs with a distinct mass of depositors with low search costs and a distinctmassofdepositorswithhighsearchcosts. Ialsousetheestimatedmarginalcostfor 2006, which averages at 581 basis points. I compute the resulting equilibrium numerically by gradually increasing number of banks starting from a duopoly setting to a market with 60 competing banks. Panel A of Figure (9) reports the effects of the changes in the number of competitors on search intensity. In the case of two banks (duopoly), the equilibrium search is characterized byalargesegmentofinactivedepositorsq representing60percentofalldepositors. Asthe 1 number of banks increases, this segment first decreases, after which it gradually increases to reach 45 percent for a market with 60 banks. At the same time, the segment of the most active investors q , who sample all bank offers, gradually declines from around 57 percent N for markets with 3 banks to less than 12 percent for a market with 60 banks. The segment of investors q , who sample 2 bank offers, gradually declines with increases in the number 2 of banks. PanelBshowshowchangesinthenumberofbanksaffectsdepositpricing. Theminimum deposit rate is a proxy for the reservation rate of depositors and is set to 150 basis points based on the average minimum rate observed in 2006. The equilibrium maximum rate is computed from equation (14). The maximum rate increases with the number of banks gradually approaching the marginal cost. The the 75th and 95th percentiles also increase rapidly and peak at about 6 banks. The 75th percentile peaks at about 4.5 percent and then declines to about 3.5 percent at 60 banks. In contrast, the 90th percentile remains stable at around 500 basis points. The difference between the 95th and the 5th percentile, a measure of price dispersion, also remains relatively stable at about 349 basis points. The equilibrium search and the equilibrium rate distribution imply that that the average expected rate increases initially with the number of banks and peaks at around 428 basis points for a market with 6 banks. It then gradually declines to about 396 basis points. An increase in the number of banks leads to an increasing equilibrium dispersion in rates creating incentives to search, which are counterbalanced with the increasing cost of samplingmultiplebankoffers. InpanelC,wecanseethatasthenumberofbanksincreases, sodoestheaveragenumberofbankssampledreaching12banksforamarketwith60banks. The total search costs are at around 13 basis points for a duopoly market. At three banks, total search costs jump to 23 basis points because all active depositors examine all three bank offers and active depositors represent more than 55 percent of the share of depositors. As the number of banks increases, the total search cost declines because of the decline of the share of depositors who sample all bank offers. Total search cost reach about 8 basis points for a market with 60 banks. As shown in panel D, after a rapid decline of profits following a transition from a duopoly to a market with 6 banks, bank profits gradually 41

The analysis uses the estimate of the aggregate search cost distribution for 2006 shown in Figure (5). increase with additional entry of competitors. This is due to the fact that the segment of inactive depositors increases and this increases banks’ monopoly power and ability to sustain an offer rate distribution tilted toward lower rates. The expected profits per banks, however, decline monotonically with the number of banks. The increase in the number of banks initially raises rapidly consumer surplus, which peaks at 7 banks, before gradually declining to a level still significantly above the duopoly case. The decline in surplus is due to the lower expected rate. The estimated model reveals a nonlinear effect of the number of competing banks on depositpricingandconsumerwelfare. Unlikethestandardmodelsassumedintheliterature, increasesinthenumberofcompetitorsdoesnotalwaysbenefitconsumersespeciallyifsearch costs are dispersed and feature a large segment of high-search cost consumers. The findings in this section are consistent with findings in Moraga-Gonz´alez, S´andor, and Wildenbeest 42

(2017)whoshowthatwhensearchcostsaredispersed, entryofmorecompetitorscouldlead to higher prices and lower consumer welfare, which is opposite to what a Cournot model of competition would predict. 4.8 Search costs and deposit pricing In this section, let us take the number of banks as given and examine how changes in search costs affect market outcomes. In particular, let us pick a market with 15 competing banks, which is the median number of banks per market in 2006, and let us assign the aggregate search cost distribution estimated for 2006 as our baseline. Next, let us assume that a technological shock scales the search costs of all depositors by a factor that is allowed to vary from 0.5 to 1.5. This transformation preserves the shape of the original search cost distributionbutchangesthemeananddispersionofsearchcosts. Afactorbelow1decreases the magnitude and standard deviation of search costs, whereas a factor above one increases search costs and their standard deviation. The results of this analysis are presented in Figure (10). As expected, in panel A, increases in search costs decrease the incentives to search and increase the share of inactive depositors q mostly because depositors who examine at most two offers q find it too 1 2 costly to search and become inactive. Somewhat counter-intuitively, however, the share of investors who sample all banks increases slightly as search costs increase. This is due to the effects of search costs on the pricing of deposits. As the share of inactive depositors increases, banks’ charge on average lower rates reducing the offer rate distribution. The maximum rate also decreases but by a smaller factor. As a result, some of the low search cost depositors, who sample more than two banks but less than all banks in a market, find it optimal to search all banks to be guaranteed to obtain the maximum rate and the share of q increases. Overall, increases in search costs pushes the interquartile range of offer N rates well below the maximum rate. The average expected rate given search also declines with higher search costs as the share of inactive depositors increases. Despite the significant effect of changes in search costs on search intensity, on balance, the average number of banks sampled remains relatively stable at around 5 banks as shown in panel C. Somewhat counter-intuitively, the total search costs are the highest when search costs are scaled down the most. This is due to compositional effects. When search costs are low, there is a larger fraction of active depositors with relatively high individual search costs. For example, more than half of depositors examine at least two bank offers when search costs are reduced by 40 percentor more. This leads to a totalsearchcostof about 16 basis points aggregating across all depositors who examine at least two offers. In contrast, whensearchcostsarescaledaboveone,theincreaseinaggregatesearchcostsaremoderated by the switch of the relatively high-search cost depositors from searching to not searching. 43

As a result, the scaling of search costs by 50 percent leads to a smaller increase in the total incurred search costs. Figure 10: Effect of changes in the search cost distribution A.

Search costs are scaled by a factor ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 with the extremes reducing search cost by 50 percent or increasing search cost by 50 percent, respectively. Finally, examining panel D, an increase in search costs has a expected negative effect on consumer surplus and positive effect on bank profits. Bank profits are more sensitive to changesinsearchcosts. Profitsincreasebymorethan50percentwhensearchcostsincrease by 50 percent and decrease by more than 50 percent when search costs are decreased by 50 percent. Consumer surplus declines with the increases in search costs. However, the sensitivity of consumer surplus to changes is search costs is lower than that of profits in part reflecting the endogenous search intensity and incurred total search costs. 44

5 Conclusion Interest rate ceilings on most deposits were repealed by 1986, allowing banks to offer higher deposit rates to compete both with other banks as well as with close deposit substitutes such as money market mutual funds. As a result, the post 1986 period should have brought convergence of retail deposit rates to market rates. Yet this paper documents persistent rate dispersion and sizable negative spreads over matched maturity Treasuries, indicating significant monopoly power in a market for a homogeneous financial product with a large number of competitors and available close substitutes such as shares in money market mutual funds. Banks achieved the surprising feat of retaining and expanding their monopoly power in the face of competition from money market funds and the advent of information technologies that should have reduced information gathering and other transaction costs. This paper has shown that a model with heterogeneous search cost investors can provide a coherent framework to rationalize the observed monopoly power, the resulting rate dispersion, and the asymmetric incomplete pass-through of changes in market interest rates into deposit rates. Furthermore, I have provided evidence that banks have expanded their market power in both deposit markets and through their affiliated money market mutual funds to close substitutes of deposits. The results of this paper are important for understanding how recent financial innovations such as stablecoins and the introduction of a central bank digital currency would affect the banking system and its ability to retain deposits and market power in the face of emerging new deposit substitutes.

Appendix not for publication “In Search of a Risk-free Asset” Vladimir Yankov28 Thisappendixisnotintendedforpublicationbuttosupplementtheanalysisinthemain text and provide the reader with a means to replicate the results of the paper or gain more insight into the data construction and technical analysis. Wherever possible, the author has available code and data for replication purposes that he can share upon request. A Data construction A.1 Deposit pricing and market concentration The main dataset on deposit rates is a novel proprietary database constructed by Rate- Watch which contains the yields on the certificates of deposit (CDs) at weekly frequency over the period of 1997-2016 offered over 6,000 FDIC insured commercial banks in over 80,000 local branch offices in over 10,000 cities across the US covering all 366 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA). The survey represents more than 90 percent of deposits in commercial banking. 29 The dataset contains offer rates on the full range of deposit products such as interest checking accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, and certificates of deposits. For the purpose of this study I focus on the small denomination CDs as these were consistently covered by the FDIC insurance. The yield information on deposits of denomination less than $100,000 is almost consistently covered by all banks in the sample. I define the geographic boundaries of a deposit market to coincide with the boundaries of an MSA area. As a result the sample of banks is reduced to 3,796 as I exclude a number of small community banks that operate in small towns not included in a MSA area. One major obstacle to constructing a consistent panel dataset is that RateWatch only maintains the most recent ownership relationships between branches, banks, and their parent holding company. To properly assign a branch to its bank owner, I use the available unique identification number (ID RSSD) and match that number to a database of historical bank-branch ownership maintained by the National Information Center (NIC).30 Such correction is important as many branches change ownership due to mergers and acquisitions 28The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th Street and Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20551. Views expressed in this paper do not reflect the official position of the Federal Reserve System.

and the NIC database allows to pinpoint the exact date of ownership change and the identities (ID RSSDs) of the acquiring banks. I verify the goodness of the match by using the FDIC Summary of Deposit database, which provides annual snapshots of the bank-branch ownership relationships. A.1.1 Deposit pricing within banking conglomerates Deposit pricing within multi-branch and multi-market banking organizations is decentralized. Special rate-setting branches determine the rates for all branches in well-defined geographic areas. Table (14) shows the coverage of the rate-setting branches of the ten largest bank holding companies in 2007. Rate-setting branches are a small number relative to the total number of branches. For example, Bank of America designates 33 branches to set the rates for the remaining 5,370 branch locations and, on average, a rate-setting branch sets the rates in 160 branch locations. Most banks designate one rate-setting branch per state. The average deposit-weighted distance between a rate-setting branch and its subordinate locations is relatively short, ranging between 38 km (23 mi) and about 150 km (93 mi). As a result of this decentralized pricing, there is no dispersion in rates among the branches of the same bank within an MSA. For the rest of the analysis, I define a geographic market to correspond to an MSA area.31 Table 14: Rate-setting branches in 2007 Rate-setting Coverageofrate-settingbranches Institution branches Locations MSA States Distance(km) (BHC) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) BankofAmerica 33 159.1 9 1.1 138.4 JPMorgan 43 58.5 3.8 1.1 69.8 Wachovia 50 46.4 3.5 1 57.6 WellsFargo 36 86.8 5.7 1.1 127.3 Citigroup 14 37.6 3.4 1.3 73.4 USB 113 18.8 2.3 1.2 52.4 Suntrust 27 67.1 4.9 1.3 70.9 Nationalcity 65 36.1 3.4 1.2 38.1 Regions 40 77.0 8.6 2.0 130.8 BB&T 14 99.9 9.1 1.1 149.1 Note: Distance is a weighted-average distance with weights equal to the branch location total deposits reported in SOD at the end of June.

A.1.2 Deposit funding and market penetration of large bank conglomerates At $1.25 trillion outstanding in 2007, the market for small time deposits is large with a significantnumberofcompetitorsandseveralclosesubstitutesofferedbynon-bankfinancial institutions.32 As documented in Table (15), time deposits are an important source of funding for banks. For most banks, more than one third of total deposit funding was in the form of time deposits, and close to half of time deposits were small fully insured retail deposits. For example, in 2007, Bank of America, the largest deposit-taking bank at the time, had over 40 million fully insured deposit accounts with an average balance of $6,000. As a comparison, uninsured accounts were 771,000 with an average balance close to four times the deposit insurance limit. More than 20 percent of deposits were time deposits and close to 50 percent of time deposits were insured. 32The market for close substitutes within the M2 aggregate, net of M1, totaled $6 trillion, of which $900 billion was invested in retail money market funds. As a comparison, the publicly traded government debt was around $4 billion in 2007. iii

Source: BankRate Monitor Timedepositsorcertificatesofdeposit(CD)arearguablythemosthomogeneousinterestpaying deposit productoffered bybanks. Similar toa Treasury bond, andunlike aninterest checking or savings account, a certificate of deposit is a fixed-income instrument with a predetermined maturity. The standard maturities that banks offer are 3-months, 6-months, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 5-year. Terms rarely exceed 5 years. Certificates of deposits are offered in small denomination with balances below $100,000 and in large (jumbo) denomination with balances above $100,000.33 CDs differ from government bonds in terms of their taxation, liquidity, and riskiness. Unlike government bonds, certificates of deposits are taxed both at the state and at the Federal level. Without a secondary market and large early withdrawal penalty fees, retail CDs are significantly less liquid than a Treasury bonds. Table (16) provides summary statistics on the price and nonprice terms for a set of contracts offered by the ten largest banks in the ten largest deposit markets. The data are based on a survey conducted by BankRate Monitor in 2006. While there is some variation in the two nonprice terms, minimum amount to open an account and the penalty for early withdrawal, such nonprice terms are not reflected in the offer rates. In particular, the 33UntilOctober3,2008theFDICinsurancelimitperdepositorperbankwas$100,000. Sincethenitwas set to $250,000. v

The correlation between the yield and the nonprice terms is very smallandstatisticallyinsignificant. Thecorrelationbetweenthepenaltyfeeandtheyieldis statisticallysignificantonlyforthe3-monthCDcontract. However, thenegativecorrelation of -0.31 goes against the intuition that high penalty fee contracts should compensate for the reduced liquidity with a higher yield. The early withdrawal penalty fees are usually not explicitly advertised and remain a shrouded attribute of the contract. A.2 Deposit market concentration Despite the considerable consolidation of the banking industry since the 1994 Riegle-Neal Act, the number of commercial and savings banks exceeded 7,000 institutions in 2007. Moreover, as a result of the consolidation the number of multi-state banks competing in the samestates ormetropolitanstatisticalarea (MSA)increasedas manybanksexpanded their operations. As shown in the last three columns of Table (15), by 2007, the 20 largest bank holdingcompanieshadexpandedtheiroperationsinmultiplestatesandmajorMetropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA). By measures of concentration, most MSA markets remain with relatively low market concentration. For example, the median MSA market has HHI of about 11 percent in 2007 and the interquartile range varies between 8 and 14. Table 17: Summary statistics of MSA markets, 2007 min p25 p50 p75 max Population 55,288 144,712 252,442 560,032 18,572,325 Share population age 65 plus 5.69 10.87 12.59 14.16 31.77 Income per capita 18.82 30.95 34.00 38.07 80.14 Deposits per capita 6.56 15.60 19.80 28.00 244.80 Number of banks 5 20 27 42 252 Number of branches 15 88 123 228 4,190 HHI index 3.21 7.95 10.91 14.24 68.19 Note: Summary statistics are constructed for 2007. The first three rows are variables constructed from the Census Bureau data. The last four rows are variables constructed from the Summary of Deposit Database. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) index is constructed as the sum of squared depositmarketsharesandtakesvaluesfrom0(theleastconcentrated)to100(themostconcentrated). Source: Census Bureau and the Summary of Deposits, 2007 The existing literature has emphasized market concentration measures such as the HHI index as a sufficient statistic to capture monopoly power and the degree of interest rate vi

pass-through.34 The use of the HHI index can be rationalized in a model of Cournot competition with differentiated products. All else equal, in those models increases in the number of competitors decreases market concentration, decreases banks’ monopoly power, and increases interest rate pass-through. Let us establish a few facts about deposit market concentration over the sample period. Figure(11)presentsinformationontwomeasuresofmarketconcentration—numberofcompeting banks in panel A and the HHI index in panel B. The baking industry has undergone significant consolidation over the past three decades spurred in large part by deregulation following the passing of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994. As a result of consolidation, the total number of bank holding companies in my sample declines from around 5200 at the beginning of the sample to less than 4200 by the end of 2016. However, the total number of banks in the median market increases over the sample period from 12 banks in 1997 to 16 banks in 2016. Similarly, the number of banks in the largest markets by total deposits increases from 51 to 61 banks over the same period. These opposing trends are consistent with the fact that the consolidation in the banking industry was driven by the expansion of the geographic scope of large banks.35 Panel B shows the time series of the deposit-weighted and the median HHI index for total deposits. The aggregate HHI based on the a deposit-weighted HHIs of individual markets shows that the index has doubled over the sample period from around 8 to more than 16. At the same time, the median MSA market HHI experienced little change over the sample period and hovered around 8. There are also notable differences in the average HHI for insured time deposits relative to total deposits.36 Although the HHI of time deposits increases over the sample period along with the deposit-weighted average of individual markets, its level remains substantially below the HHI indices for total deposits. This could reflect both the fact that HHI for time deposits can only be computed at the bank level as well as the fact that unlike transaction deposits, households are more likely to hold time deposits in multiple banks as documented in section 2.7 and consistent with search for better return. 34SeeBergerandHannan(1989),HannanandBerger(1991),NeumarkandSharpe(1992),andDrechsler, Savov,andSchnabl(2017)foranalysisoftherelationshipbetweenmarketconcentrationanddepositpricing. 35The divergent trend in aggregate and market-level concentration is a phenomenon observed not only in the banking industry, but also across multiple industries as documented by Rossi-Hansberg, Sarte, and Trachter(2021). SeeTable(15)intheAppendixforsummarystatisticsofthegeographicscopeofthelargest bank holding companies. 36Unfortunately,theFDICSummaryofDepositsdatasetcontainsbank-branch-levelinformationonlyfor total deposits. Therefore, I can only compute the HHI index for time deposits at the bank level. vii

A.3 Survey of Consumer Finances A.3.1 Deposit allocations To conduct the analysis in Section (2.7), I use the publicly available version of the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF). The Federal Reserve provides a “Summary Extract Public Data”, which contain a set of derived items such as total assets, total debt, net worth, total financial assets, and financial assets breakdowns by asset class. To construct deposit allocations across different bank accounts, I use the reported allocations of deposits across different deposit account types—interest checking, savings, and certificates of deposit, and across different institutions and institution types reported in the raw data. For example, to construct the distribution of investments in CDs across contracts and bank accounts in Figure (3), I use the following items from the raw data 1. X3720: Altogether, how many such CDs do you (and your family living here) have? 2. X3721: What is the total dollar value of (this CD/these CDs)? 3. X3726: How many different institutions do you use for all these CDs? 4. (X3722 X3723 X3724 X3725 X7618 X6654 X6655): Please look at the list of institutions you wrote down. (Is this/Are these) CD(s) with any of the institutions on the list, or from someplace else? viii

5.

To identify whether a CD contract is held with a main checking-account bank, I check if the institution matches the bank where the household holds the largest checking account balance. A.3.2 Financial sophistication index To construct the financial sophistication index, I use a set of categorical and quantitative characteristics of households related to their financial wealth management. The set of quantitative characteristics are • Share of interest and dividend income in total income • Share of risky assets in total financial assets, where risky assets are defined as direct holdings of equity, corporate bonds, and shares in equity and bond mutual funds. • DiversityoffinancialassetholdingsmeasuredastheHerfindahlindexofdifferentasset category holdings. The set of categorical (qualitative) characteristics take a true or false value • Use of professional advise (lawyer, accountant, banker, broker, or financial planner) on decisions related to borrowing and saving • Direct holdings of equity • Excellent understanding of the SCF questionnaire • Ownership of a brokerage, MMF, or other mutual fund accounts • Willingness to take above average financial risks • Time period for planning or budgeting of saving and spending that exceeds 5 years. The financial sophistication index is then computed as the first principal component of those two sets of variables. The table below presents summary statistics of the index.

B Maximum likelihood construction and estimation B.1 Construction The indifference condition implied by the symmetric mixed strategies equilibrium allows us to construct a likelihood function of observing a particular offer rate. To do so, we equate profit function at the lowest bound of the support with any rate in the support must be the same π(R) = π(R ) for all R ∈ S. Using this equilibrium condition, we min can construct a function which relates an offer rate with the observed percentiles of the equilibrium distribution F = F(R). x

N (cid:104)(cid:88) (cid:105) G(R,F) = ψ(R) kq Fk−1 −(R˜−R )(1−hd(R ))q = 0 k min min 1 k=1 Applying the implicit function theorem to the equation above gives us an expression for the likelihood function −ψ′(R) (cid:80)N kq F (R)k−1 f (R|σ,{q }N ) = × k=1 k R . (27) R k k=1 ψ(R) (cid:80)N k(k−1)q F (R)k−2 k=1 k R To guarantee that the likelihood function is a proper probability density function (i.e. f (·) ≥ 0), the derivative of the profit function needs to be negative ψ′(R) < 0. The R derivative of the profit function is (cid:16) R˜−R (cid:17) ψ′(R) = −(1−hd(R)) 1+(1−σ) hd(R) . (28) R The derivative is always negative for σ < 1. For σ > 1, one has to check the following condition 1+(1−σ)R˜−Rhd(R) > 0 which imposes an upper bound on σ R R 1 min σ < 1+ . (29) R˜−R min h(R min ) For all plausible values of (R˜,R ), the right-hand side of the expression exceeds 2. min The log-likelihood optimization problem can be written as N 1 (cid:88) L(R|θ) = log(f (R |θ)) −→ max (30) R j θ N j=1 where θ is the parameter vector to be estimated θ = {σ,{q }N }. The equilibrium offer k k=1 distribution F (R) is implicitly defined from the equilibrium condition R N (cid:88) ψ(R) kq F (R)k−1 = ψ(R )q . (31) k R min 1 k=1 To derive the score of the likelihood function requires straightforward but tedious algebra. Let us express analytically the following derivatives with respect to the underlying parameters xi

∂h(R) h (R) ≡ = −h(R)(1−h(R))×ln(βτR) (32) σ ∂σ ∂ψ(R) ψ (R) ≡ = −(R˜−R)×h (R)+R˜ (1−h(R)) (33) σ σ σ ∂σ ∂ψ′(R) (cid:16) R˜−R (cid:17) ψ′(R) ≡ = 1+(1−σ) hd(R) h (R)+ (34) σ ∂σ R σ (cid:16)R˜−R R˜−R R˜ (cid:17) σ (1−h(R)) h(R)−(1−σ) h (R)+(1−σ) h(R) (35) σ R R R where R˜ is the derivative of the expression for the marginal cost of funds (24) with respect σ to IES. To simplify notation further, let us define the following sums N (cid:88) s = kq F (R)k−1 (36) 1 k R k=1 N (cid:88) s = k(k−1)q F (R)k−2 (37) 2 k R k=2 N (cid:88) s = k(k−1)(k−2)q F (R)k−3. (38) 3 k R k=3 Applying the implicit function theorem to (31), we can analytically express the derivative of the equilibrium offer distribution with respect to the coefficient of intertemporal substitution 1 (cid:16) (cid:17) F (R) = − s ψ (R)−ψ (R )q . (39) σ 1 σ σ min 1 s ψ(R) 2 Similarly, we can calculate the derivatives with respect to the market segments 1 (cid:16) (cid:17) F (R) = − ψ(R)+ψ (R)R˜ s −ψ(R )−ψ (R )R˜ q (40) q1 s ψ(R) R˜ q1 1 min R˜ min q1 1 2 for k = 2,..,N (41) 1 (cid:16) (cid:17) F = − ψ(R)kFk−1+ψ (R)R˜ s −ψ (R )R˜ q . (42) q k s ψ(R) R˜ q1 1 R˜ min q k 1 2 Using the notation introduced above, the derivative of the likelihood function with respect to σ can be expressed as ψ′(R)ψ(R)−ψ (R)ψ′(R)s ψ′(R)(cid:16) s s (cid:17) f = − σ σ 1 − 1− 1 3 F .

B.2 Maximum likelihood estimation The optimization of the log-likelihood function is computationally demanding. To find the global optimum, I use the global optimization toolbox of Matlab and parallelize computationsinaclusterof32CPUcores. Iuseatrustregionreflectivealgorithmandtheanalytical scores and the Hessian derived in (45). This set-up significantly speeds up the computation of the optimum. For almost all estimates, the optimization algorithm arrives at a global optimum that satisfies the optimality conditions for the specified tolerance levels. I discard markets and periods for which the optimization does not achieve convergence. B.2.1 Goodness-of-fit I use the two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the model. The KS test is based on the maximal difference between the empirical distribution andthemodelgeneratedevaluatedattheMLEestimates. TheKSteststatisticiscomputed for each MSA market and each period. According to p-values from this test, the model generateddistributionisstatisticallyclosetotheempiricaldistributionformostoftheMSA xiii

markets throughout the sample period. One fails to reject the null hypothesis of equality at the5percentsignificancelevelforthemajorityofmarkets,andthedeposit-weightedaverage p-value exceeds 25 percent in all years of the sample. I focus the analysis on markets with p-values exceeding 5 percent, which excludes at most 8 mostly small markets.

P-values are calculated for each MSA market and for each period. The weighted-mean is weighed by the total MSA-level deposits reported in the FDIC’s SOD for that year. Table (20) shows the p-values of the goodness-of-fit measure based on the Kolmogorov- Smirnov two-sample statistic. Columns two through five show select percentiles of the distribution of the p-values across different markets. Column 7 gives the deposit-weighted average of the p-values to summarize the statistic for the largest markets. Columns (8) and (9) show the number of markets for which the p-value is below 5 percent. Overall, the test statistic fails to reject the null hypothesis that the the model generated and the empirical distribution of rates are the same. xiv

B.3 Marginal cost of funds Figure (12) plots the deposit-weighted average of the market-level estimates of the marginal cost of funds and compares them with the 12-month LIBOR and the maximal deposit rate. The marginal cost of funds tracks closely the LIBOR rate in the increasing interest rate environments of 1999-2000 and 2004-2006. However, outside those periods, the average marginal cost of funds is much higher than the LIBOR rate likely reflecting other costs to supplying deposits including maintaining a branch network in a particular market or the loan demand conditions in the market.

B.4 Marginal value of information To gain intuition into how variation in marginal values of information determines search intensities, panel A of Figure (13) plots the time-series variation of ∆ for a number of k sample sizes. In the high dispersion period of 2006, the marginal values of information ∆ 1 ishighatabout70basispoints. Incontrast,∆ isabout16basispointsinthelowdispersion 1 period of 2013. Furthermore, as the sample size of bank offers increases, the marginal value of information decreases. This relationship can be seen more clearly in Panel B, which xv

plots the marginal value of information as a function of sample size for two periods—the high dispersion period of 2006 and the low dispersion period of 2016. The marginal value of information declines sharply with sample size in both periods. Furthermore, for sample sizes above 10 banks, the marginal value of information drops below 5 basis points and remains flat and independent of the magnitude of rate dispersion.

l Note: Panels A plots the time series variation of the deposit-weighted averages of market-level estimates of the marginal values of information for search intensities. Panel B compares the marginal value of information in 2006 with that in 2016 across different sample sizes. Panel C compares the market-level marginal values of information for different rate dispersion as measured by the observed ranges of rates. Panel D, is a scatter plot of the marginal value of information of sampling two bank offers and the share of inactive depositors. The the black line is a polynomial fit based on a weighted regression using the total deposits of an MSA market as weights. To see this, panel C shows scatter plots of ∆ and ∆ against the range of rates. 1 N−1 For some markets and time periods, the range is as large as 5 percentage points and ∆ is 1 as high as 100 basis points. The relationship between rate dispersion and ∆ is strongly 1 positive. As predicted, ∆ has little sensitivity to rate dispersion. This low sensitivity N−1 explains the relatively stable fraction of the most active investors q . As we will see in the N xvi

next section, most time series variation in q is attributed to changes in the search cost N distribution. Finally, panel D shows that the share of high-search-cost inactive investors q 1 is a decreasing nonlinear function of the marginal value of information ∆ . 1 xvii

  abstract = {I examine the role of costly consumer search for the pricing of insured deposits, which is characterized by a large dispersion of offer rates, negative spreads over Treasuries, and upward rigid adjustments following increases in the federal funds rate. Estimates of a model of costly search reveal a large fraction of high-search-cost and a small declining fraction of low-search-cost depositors. The large fraction of high-search-cost depositors, composed mostly of elderly and less financially sophisticated households, grants banks monopoly power and allows for the low interest rate pass-through. The predictions of the estimated model are consistent with responses in the Survey of Consumer Finances to questions related to financial sophistication, search for investment return, and deposit allocations across multiple bank accounts. The model also reveals a non-monotone relationship between bank entry, deposit rates, and consumer surplus.},
