Essays on regulatory control of deposit insurance and dual trading

Abstract

dc:description

Essay 1 extends the existing theoretical framework to incorporate a bank's charter value and analyze directly its effect on the pricing of deposit insurance. It derives values of deposit insurance with both deterministic and stochastic charter values. It is shown that significant charter value can be a main cost to exploit the FDIC's guarantee at a given level of regulatory control. Consequently, studies that fail to allow for charter value tend to understate the costs of a bank's risk-shifting, and tend to overstate the true obligation of the FDIC for an insolvent bank. In the case of stochastic charter value, the correlation between a bank's tangible assets and its charter value is an important factor in determining its fair insurance premium.
