My research revolves around financial institutions. In this essay, I aim to further our understandings of the internal workings of financial intermediaries, how they interact in financial networks, and how they affect monetary policy and the macroeconomy. In the first chapter, James Peck and I study a bank run model where the depositors can choose how much to deposit. In the many years and many published articles following the bank runs paper of Diamond and Dybvig (1983), only a few papers have modeled the decision of whether to deposit, much less the decision of how much to deposit. The questions we address here are, how does the opportunity for consumers to invest outside the banking system- in investments that do not provide liquidity insurance- (1) affect the nature of the final allocation, (2) affect the nature of the optimal deposit contract, and (3) affect the fragility of the banking system? We extend the Diamond and Dybvig (1983) model so to incorporate sequential service constraint and the opportunity of outside investments and show that under certain conditions the equilibrium entails partial deposits, thus arguing for the optimality of limited banking. One might think that when depositors are allowed to invest a fraction of their endowments outside the banking system, they would be hedging against the risk of a run occurring, but losing out on some of the services provided by banks. Thus, one might think that this would improve the stability of the financial system at the expense of lost efficiency. However, we show that the opposite could be true, with reduced stability (runs more likely) but higher efficiency! In the second chapter, I study the strategic behavior of heterogeneous banks in a network and its implications on the stability of the financial system. I construct a model alas Allen and Gale (2000) wherein banks differ in whether they are hit by an uninsurable excess liquidity demand. I show that in such a framework banks that are already facing a high liquidity demand are more likely to incur the burden of excess liquidity shocks even when that shock has not directly hit them, i.e. relatively healthier banks strategically pass liquidation costs to relatively less healthy banks. I also show that private bailouts arise endogenously in this framework. If the strategic behavior of a bank results in the other bank's failure, the first bank may choose to incur the burden of the liquidity shock by itself to let the other bank survive and, thus, to control the indirect costs of failure feeding back to its portfolio. I also show that for some economies the financial network becomes more stable as the level of cross-deposits is increased from the minimum level that fully insures banks against liquidity demand uncertainty up to a threshold level. In the third chapter, I study the role of financial intermediaries in the transmission of monetary policy in low interest rate environments. The global financial crisis not only proved our understanding of intermediaries were inaccurate and in many ways misleading but also provided an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the questions in ways that were not possible before. Among those, was the behavior of economic players in ultra-low and even negative market rates. I study the internal workings of intermediaries by exploiting geographical variation in market concentration and provide the first explanation for the gradual deterioration of monetary policy power in low market rates that does not rely on bank-specific characteristics and similarly applies to non-bank intermediaries. I show that- in stark contrast to the textbook view but consistent with my mechanism- in low market rates more concentrated banks respond to market rate falls by reducing their deposit supply as well as their loan supply by more than those of less concentrated banks. I argue this behavior is the response of banks to loan and deposit demand becoming less elastic to market rate changes in low market rates which itself is due to the shift of household assets from the ones that are fully responsive to market rate changes (e.g. money market funds) to those less responsive (e.g. deposits) or irresponsive (e.g. cash) in low market rates. As the market rate falls, The downward pressure of the increased market power and the upward pressure of the traditional channels, cause the non-monotonic response of banks to market rate changes. The results help explain the puzzling slow recovery of the economy as well as stable inflation after the global financial crisis. I also show that local house prices become less responsive to market rate changes in low market rates in the counties that are exposed to high-market-power banks.

Chapter 1 uses a mix of theory and data to study the unintended consequences of mandatory retention rules in securitization. The Dodd-Frank Act and the EU Securitization Regulation both impose a 5% mandatory retention requirement in securitization to motivate financial intermediaries to screen and monitor their borrowers more carefully. To better understand the impact of the policy, this chapter studies two related research questions. First, can mandatory retention have unintended consequences? Second, is the current level of retention optimal? To answer those questions, I propose a novel trade-off model in which retention strengthens monitoring but may also encourage banks to shift risk. I go on to provide empirical evidence supporting this unintended consequence: in the data, banks shifted toward riskier portfolios after the implementation of the retention rules embedded in Dodd-Frank. Furthermore, the model provides clear testable predictions about policy and corresponding consequences. I show in the data that stricter retention rules caused banks to monitor and shift risk simultaneously. According to the model prediction, such a simultaneous increase can only occur when the retention level is above optimal, which suggests that the current rate of 5% in the US is too high. Chapter 2Chapter 2 studies the source of fragility of OTC-natured interbank markets. Most research on the fragility of interbank markets -in the sense of multiplicity of equilibria driven by adverse selection-relies on a competitive market structure. By contrast, this chapter accounts for the OTC market nature and the market power of some players. Under adverse selection alone, markets are not fragile; that is, the equilibrium is unique. However, when adverse selection is combined with moral hazard on the borrowers' side, multiple equilibria arise again, and the bad equilibrium exhibits troubled banks gambling for resurrection. An interest rate floor eliminates the bad equilibrium. More generally, policies to reduce fragility should address moral hazard rather than adverse selection. Chapter 3Chapter 3 studies the contracting differences between corporate loans that are sold in the secondary market and that are securitized in the CLO market. With secondary loan sales and CLO markets being the two markets for corporate loan commoditization, empirical studies find that banks add additional restrictive covenants to loans sold and looser covenants to loans securitized. Why is it so? This chapter builds a theoretical model to explain such contracting differences in these two markets. The key mechanism is that the bank alleviates the borrowers' moral hazard problem via public monitoring and charges higher interest rates due to the relaxing of incentives provided. Those high interest rates facilitate loan sales because the information problem embedded in loan sales is lessened. In contrast, adverse selection is less severe in securitization since the bank retains the information-sensitive tranche.

This dissertation consists of three chapters on financial intermediation and international finance that contribute to our understanding and identification of the transmission of aggregate shocks in imperfect financial markets. The first chapter studies the effect of an aggregate funding supply shock in a lending network in times of distress in a quantitative framework for the money market funds industry in the U.S. The second chapter identifies the effect of cross-border banking flows on macroeconomic and financial outcomes for emerging economies. The third chapter studies the identification of the impact of foreign exchange interventions under a limited risk-bearing capacity of financial intermediaries. The first chapter studies the implications of network frictions for the allocative efficiency of funding provision of the U.S. Money Markets Funds Industry. I build a tractable model of financial intermediation that features an incomplete network of counterparties and bilateral bargaining within a network. I use the quantitative model to assess the effect of a large supply shock of funding in the money market funds industry. I provide an identification framework to estimate the model's parameters and discipline the model using portfolio data of the money market funds industry. I assess a counterfactual taking as primitives the drop in assets under management at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and show that the model can account for price dispersion and funding allocation observed in the data. The second chapter assesses the effect of capital flows in emerging countries. We focus on the impact of cross-border banking flows and leverage the size distribution at the bilateral level to construct an instrument for capital inflows. We build a granular instrumental variable to identify the effects on macroeconomic and financial conditions for 22 emerging countries. Cross-border bank credit causes higher domestic activity in EMEs and looser financial conditions. We also show that the effect is heterogeneous across different levels of capital inflow controls. The third chapter studies the effects of foreign exchange intervention. We estimate the causal effect of foreign exchange intervention. Theoretically, the impact of foreign exchange intervention depends on the imperfect asset substitution that relates to the limited risk-bearing capacity of financial intermediaries. To identify the risk-bearing capacity, we use the variation from information free flows of passive investors around rebalancing dates. These flows are plausibly exogenous with respect to domestic conditions and act as a shock to the risk held by financial intermediaries. We show that information-free flows have effects on UIP and CIP deviations. Our preliminary estimates show that the required foreign exchange intervention to achieve a 10% foreign exchange depreciation in one week is between $0.02-$5.06 billion dollars.

The regulation of financial intermediaries continues to pose significant challenges to policymakers the world over. The task is especially difficult in emerging markets, where various factors—including macroeconomic volatility, relative under-capitalization of banks, the absence of market discipline and lax supervision—combine to render the banking system fragile. As was evident in the East Asian crisis of the late nineties, this can increase manifold the adverse effects of economic shocks. Taking stock of several important issues in the regulation of financial intermediaries in emerging markets, this volume: - Outlines the direction in which financial regulation should evolve in those markets; - Addresses themes related to optimal regulation as well as issues specific to regulation in the Indian context; - Identifies key elements in the best practices regulation in emerging markets; and - Proposes an innovative approach for setting limits to NPAs in banks. Overall, the original essays gathered here provide a comprehensive account of various important issues involved in regulating financial intermediaries and makes valuable and practical suggestions on how to improve regulation in emerging markets. An important feature of the volume is that it brings together both, scholars from academia and finance professionals from various multilateral agencies. As a consequence, it provides a fine balance between cross-country empirical evidence and conceptual contributions.

In a coordination game model a la Angeletos and Werning (2006), I show that the floating net asset value, which allows investors to redeem shares at market-based price rather than book value, may lead to more self-fulfilling runs. Compared to stable net asset value, which becomes informative only when the regime is abandoned, the floating net asset value acts as a public noisy signal, coordinating investors’ behaviors and resulting in multiplicity. The destabilizing effect increases when investors’ capacity of acquiring private information is constrained. The model implications are consistent with a surge in the conversion from prime to government institutional funds in 2016, when the floating net asset value requirement on the former is the centerpiece of the money market fund reform.

Abstract: My dissertation explores the impact of financial development, as well as regulatory changes in the financial sector, on economic growth. Recent literature on growth has often focused on the importance of financial intermediation and institutional quality. Advocates of financial development say that the development of the banking sector and stock markets increase the financing available to firms, raising productivity. The "institutions hypothesis" proponents suggest that institutions jointly determine the growth rate and the policy choice, while policies themselves bear no causal connection to growth. Such hypothesis is difficult to test empirically because the change in institutional quality is, with a few historic exceptions, very slow. For the most part, therefore, a country's economic performance can end up being attributed to a random cause. Using a cross-country data set and numerous financial indicators, institutional quality variables and growth measures, I find that this is not true of financial development. Financial variables have a significant effect on growth that is distinct from that of institutions like private property and rule of law. I also consider this issue in the context of the fifty U.S. states. States differ with respect to financial indicators like the number of banks, assets, equity, loans and deposits. They also vary in terms of their regulatory environments. States like Delaware, Texas and Nevada have very high scores for economic freedom; Mississippi, New Mexico and West Virginia have very low ones. The results again underscore the importance of financial deepening in order to achieve economic growth. Taking up from this point, the final essay studies the impact of U.S. banking deregulation on growth. Many states relaxed restrictions on intra-state bank branching beginning in the early 1960s, both by allowing bank holding companies to convert subsidiaries into branches and by permitting statewide de novo branching. This increased competition in the banking sector forced banks to become more efficient. The existing literature suggests that one of the channels through which this worked was bank lending. Different industries have varying degrees of dependence on external financing, and industries that have greater dependence should grow faster in the post-deregulation period. Using a panel data set, I find this not to be the case for the U.S.; industries that borrow less from banks actually grew at a faster rate after deregulation. This could reflect commercial banks losing market share to other sources of external financing, the general decline in the U.S. manufacturing sector and the terms of trade moving in favor of agriculture. I also consider the effect of deregulation on various banking indicators and find the strongest impact to be on the number of commercial banks operating in the state. Contrary to existing research, these regulatory changes slowed down growth in the number of bank branches and offices, as well as other measures of bank performance like assets, equity, loans and deposits. This suggests that the gains from deregulation are short-lived, and also indicate unprofitable smaller banks shuttering their operations and the emergence of credit unions and other alternatives to commercial banks.
