Voluntary Support and Ring-fencing in Multinational Banks
註釋We study supervisory interventions in a multinational bank under different institutional architectures in a model in which the bank may provide voluntary support to an impaired unit using a healthy unit's resources. While a supranational architecture permits voluntary support, a national architecture gives rise to ring-fencing of the healthy unit for high correlation between the units' assets. Ring-fencing limits voluntary support and may lead to inefficient liquidation of an impaired unit, but may incentivize bank effort and reduce risks in the units. We show that establishing a supranational architecture reduces the expected deposit insurance costs for weaker banks with highly correlated assets. Finally, conflicting national interests can hinder the establishment of a welfare-improving supranational architecture for stronger banks.
