Topic:Unintended Consequences of Government Bailouts: Evidence from Bank-dependent Borrowers of Large Banks

Speaker:Yupeng Lin, National University of Singapore

Time:Wednesday, 21 September, 10:00-11:30

Place:Room 217, Guanghua Building 2

Abstract:

Using the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) as a laboratory, this paper examines the impacts of bank bailouts on bank-dependent clients. We find that large TARP recipient banks reduce credit supply to dependent borrowers in the post-TARP period. Such effect is more pronounced when recipient banks hoard more liquidity ex-post. We further show that a large fraction of credit supply reduction is due to regulatory uncertainty. This negative shock via credit channel causes dependent borrowers to become more constrained financially. Ex-ante analysis also reveals a significant valuation loss for these borrowers around the announcements of their main banks’ TARP approvals.
