Working papers
Homar, T. (2014). Bank Recapitalizations and Lending: A Little is Not Enough. (Job Market paper)
This paper analyzes the effect of bank recapitalizations on lending, funding and asset quality of European banks
between 2000 and 2013. Controlling for market implied capital shortfall of banks, we find that banks that receive
a sufficiently large recapitalization increase lending, raise additional funding and clean up their balance sheets. In
contrast, banks that receive a small recapitalization relative to their capital shortfall reduce lending, shrink their
risk weighted assets and suffer a drop in deposits and interbank borrowing. These results suggest
recapitalizations need to be large enough to lead to new lending.
Homar, T., S.J.G. van Wijnbergen (2013). Recessions after Systemic Banking Crises: Government
Intervention Matters. Tinbergen Institute Discussion Paper 13-039.
What costs do zombie banks impose on society? We analyze the effects of government and central bank
interventions in 68 systemic banking crises since 1980, of which 28 are part of the recent global financial crisis.
Our estimation approach controls for the correlation between intervention measures and the time-invariant
component of unobservable crisis severity. We find that timely bank recapitalizations substantially reduce the
duration of recessions, underscoring the distortions caused by zombie banks and the costs of regulatory
forbearance.
