                                            The future of deposit insurance: an analysis of the alternatives

Reforms of the deposit insurance system are necessary to discourage excessive risk taking such as characterized the recent S&L crisis. The adoption of market value accounting, early closing of failed banks, and exposing uninsured depositors and creditors to lossesall would give bankers less incentives to take excessive risks with insured deposits.

Furthermore, money market futures--especially futures contracts on Eurodollar time deposits--have been at the vanguard of the recent explosion of trading activity in interest rate derivatives. While futures markets traditionally have been viewed as markets for the transfer of price risk, recent research shows that they may serve other important economic functions as well.

The authors contend that FSLICs institutional structures, established decades ago, made a thrift crisis inevitable. Poorly designed incentive structures strongly encouraged regulators and thrift managers to delay proper action when thrifts became insolvent. The authors present recommendations to prevent a recurrence of the crisis.

The authors document the experiences of the economies of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia over the past 25 years. After summarizing the differences between conventional and VAR forecasting models, they present forecasts of each state for 1984 produced by a five-variable VAR model. These forecasts suggest that the recovery of 1983 should continue through 1984 for most Fifth ...

Among other things, the Act required the Fed to give all depository institutions equal access to its payments services and to price those services competitively. In this article, Anatoli Kuprianov explains why Congress legislated this change. At least three developments in the 1970s, including the introduction of electronic payments systems, the deregulation of the thrift industry, and the decline in membership in the Federal Reserve System, forced consideration of the ...
