  5. Slide 5: Innovations of the paper

    Innovations of the paper • Use a continuous index of banking sector stability instead of binary indicator • Use a panel VAR to capture two-way effect (output growth & banking sector stability) Stability on Real Economy Impact of Banking Sector • Allow output variance to be dependant on banking secto

  6. Slide 6: Conclusions

    Conclusions • Banking sector stability has an impact on GDP growth … • … and uncertainty about future GDP growth • Banking sector stability indicators seem to Stability on Real Economy Impact of Banking Sector improve output growth forecasts • No significant impact on inflation 16.05.2011 © Schweize

  7. Slide 7: Definitions

    Definitions • Instability: Probability that the banking sector becomes insolvent within the next quarter • Insolvency: Stability on Real Economy Impact of Banking Sector Banking sector is insolvent if, at the end of the quarter, the market value of its total assets is not sufficient to repay its tot

  8. Slide 8: Assumptions

    Assumptions • The assets of the banking sector follows a Brownian motion • The debt grows at a continuously Stability on Real Economy Impact of Banking Sector compounded growth rate 16.05.2011 © Schweizerische Nationalbank, Zürich/Bern

  9. Slide 9: Merton’s model

    Merton’s model • Equity is equivalent to a call option on its assets • Using Black-Scholes formula we can obtain Stability on Real Economy Impact of Banking Sector the probability of exercising the option (A>D) • and the probability of not exercising the option (A<D) = DD 16.05.2011 © Schweizerische

  10. Slide 10: Duan’s method

    Duan’s method • There is a one-to-one mapping between the observable equity and the unobservable asset  The unknown parameters can be estimated Stability on Real Economy by maximum log likelihood method Impact of Banking Sector 16.05.2011 © Schweizerische Nationalbank, Zürich/Bern

  11. Slide 11: Data

    Data • Sample : 1980 to 2008 • Quarterly data • 521 banks in 18 OECD countries Stability on Real Economy • Linear interpolation for transforming annual Impact of Banking Sector debt data to quarterly data • Quarterly market value of equity is the minimum observed during the quarter 16.05.2011 © Schw

  16. Slide 16: Banking sector stability on output growth

    Banking sector stability on output growth • Two-way relationship • Higher output growth followed by greater banking sector stability Stability on Real Economy Impact of Banking Sector • Banking sector stability induces growth in subsequent periods 16 16.05.2011

  18. Slide 18: Variances

    Variances • Levels have impact on own variance • Higher output growth = lower output variance Stability on Real Economy • Variance in DD increases when DD is high Impact of Banking Sector Unstable banking sector more likely to be followed by more instability 18 16.05.2011

  19. Slide 19: Variances

    Variances • Stable banking sector reduces uncertainty about future output growth Stable banking sector more likely to be Stability on Real Economy Impact of Banking Sector followed by high output growth than an unstable banking sector is to be followed by low output growth 19 16.05.2011
