摘要:This paper investigates how deposit insurance and capital adequacy affect bank risk forfive developed and nine emerging markets over the period of 1992–2015. Although full coverage ofdeposit insurance induces moral hazard by banks, deposit insurance is still an effective tool, especiallyduring the time of crisis. On the contrary, capital adequacy by itself does not effectively performthe monitoring role and leads to the asset substitution problem. Implementing the safety nets ofboth deposit insurance and capital adequacy together could be a sustainable financial architecture.Immediate-effect analysis reveals that the interplay between deposit insurance and capital adequacyis indispensable for banking system stability.
