A bank runs model with a continuum of types
We consider a bank runs model à la Diamond and Dybvig (1983) with a continuum of agent types, indexed by the degree of patience. Much of our understanding based on the two-type model must be modified. The endogenous determination of a cutoff type is central to the analysis. In the case where the bank can credibly commit to a contract, the optimal contract results in socially excessive withdrawa...
متن کاملAre Bank Runs Contagious ?
Banks are a vital part of the economy because they provide an important channel through which many businesses get their financing. However, as we know from the history of the United States and other countries, banks can be subject to runs and panics. A panic that encompasses a large part of the banking system can seriously disrupt economic activity. During a run, a bank experiences much heavier...
متن کاملEquilibrium Bank Runs
We analyze a banking system in which the class of feasible deposit contracts, or mechanisms, is broad. The mechanisms must satisfy a sequential service constraint, but partial or full suspension of convertibility is allowed. Consumers must be willing to deposit, ex ante. We show, by examples, that under the socalled “optimal contract,” the post-deposit game can have a run equilibrium. Given a p...
متن کاملEquilibrium Bank Runs Revisited
In a Diamond and Dybvig (1983) environment, Green and Lin (2003) take a mechanism design approach and show that a bank run equilibrium cannot exist. Peck and Shell (2003) generalize their economic environment and show that it can. The bank run, however, does not emerge because of modifications to the economic environment but rather because the mechanism that implements allocations is not an opt...
متن کاملHerding and bank runs
Traditional models of bank runs do not allow for herding e¤ects, because in these models withdrawal decisions are assumed to be made simultaneously. I extend the banking model to allow a depositor to choose his withdrawal time. When he withdraws depends on his consumption type (patient or impatient), his private, noisy signal about the quality of the banks portfolio, and the withdrawal histori...
