Roundtable discussion: reflection on twenty years of bank regulatory reform
Benston, George J.; Eisenbeis, Robert A.; Kane, Edward J.; Kaufman, George G.; Horvitz, Paul M. (2007-01-02)
In 1986 the American Bankers Association asked five banking academics to assess and recommend policy options to improve the banking system's efficiency, performance, and safety. The report these five economists produced, Perspectives on Safe and Sound Banking: Past, Present, and Future, has in many ways served as a roadmap for ensuing bank regulatory reforms. In this roundtable discussion, each of the five authors reflects on the past twenty years and the current status of the banking industry and, in some cases, shares thoughts about the industry's future direction.

It is important to prevent restrictions on the range of policy options being explored from undermining the quality of policy performance. This implies that outside economists should challenge misframing whenever they see it. ; This paper contends that, at least in the financial press, policymakers and some economists are misframing two related problems in financial regulation. The first concerns the nature of the process by which financial modernization spreads from country to ...

How Have Borrowers Fared in Banking Mega-mergers?
Narayanan, Rajesh P.; Carow, Kenneth A.; Kane, Edward J. (2005-03-01)
Previous studies of event returns surrounding bank mergers show that banks gain value in megamergers and additional value when they absorb in-market competitors. A portion of these gains has been traced to the increased bargaining power of banks vis-a-vis regulators and other competitors. We demonstrate that increased bargaining power of megabanks adversely affects loan customers of the acquired institution. Wealth losses are greater when loan customers are credit-constrained, the loan customer is smaller, or the acquisition is an in-market deal. These findings reinforce complaints that the ...
