Summary: | The standard macro(prudential) models
focus on externalities and treat all prudential instruments
as alternative, but equivalent, forms of Pigouvian taxes.
This paper explicitly models individual banks' risk
choices and shows that different prudential instruments
affect banks' risk-taking incentives differently. Thus,
conflicts may arise between the micro and macro prudential stance. |
