Book excerpt: In the third part of the study, I examine how shocks to banks' financial conditions impact corporate financing and investment decisions during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. I find that average firms relied more heavily on bank credit during the crisis. However, firms whose banks incurred more nonperforming loans used less bank credit when comparing their bank debt before and during the crisis. The reduction on bank debt weren't replaced by alternative financing such as public debt or trade credit. There is some evidence that shocks on banks eventually affected corporate real activities; firms with more adversely affected banks invested less and hoarded more cash during the crisis compared to their pre-crisis level. Overall, my results suggest that adverse shocks on the banking system can curtail bank lending and negatively affect the real sector.

Book excerpt: This Thesis studies whether financial technology (fintech) innovation and loans provided by corporate insiders can mitigate financing frictions and correct market failures in markets with asymmetric information and adverse selection. It consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 outlines the research questions examined in the Thesis and highlights its main findings. Chapter 2 studies the effect of borrowing from peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms, a recent fintech innovation in lending, on the supply of credit by traditional credit intermediaries, such as banks, and the demand for credit from banks by consumers. It provides evidence suggesting that this innovation in lending affects the information environment in the credit market and increases access to credit by consumers. Chapter 3 examines loan selection by investors and loan returns in P2P markets. It demonstrates the dominating role of institutional investors in P2P lending, contrasts the loan-picking skill of institutional and retail investors, and discusses the ability of fintech lenders to accurately price and screen loan applications. Chapter 4 studies whether information-intensive debt can benefit corporations by investigating loans provided by corporate insiders, so-called related-party lending, from the perspective of corporate borrowers. It documents characteristics of these loans and shows that they are taken when the information asymmetry between borrowers and external capital providers is likely high. The findings also suggest that other debt providers regard relating-party lending as a signal of credit quality of borrowers. Chapter 5 concludes and discusses avenues for future research.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation continues the tradition of identifying the effects of economic shocks to financial intermediaries. Its main contribution is to estimate the size of credit market disruptions in the form of government intervention, asset market crises, and competitive pressures, while using methods that are more novel and appropriate than those of previous work. Chapter 1 examines the effect of the elimination of U.S. banking regulations, which are intended to expand the access of financial services within states and across state-lines, on entrepreneurship activity. It finds that there was increase in small business formation following the deregulation of interstate banking, but not intrastate banking. Results indicate allowing banks to lend and take deposits across state lines increases small business formation by up to 8%. There is a delayed impact following the passage of legislation indicating credit markets require time to adjust to the new regulatory environment. Heterogeneous effects exist across firm sizes in terms of economic impact magnitude and timing. The main contribution of the chapter is that examines the impact on entrepreneurship in separate periods after the initial passing and on subsets of small businesses. Whereas Chapter 1 estimates the effect of a foreseen event, Chapter 2 focuses on the impact of unexpected housing crisis on financial intermediaries loan servicing decisions. As the housing market worsened mortgage lenders could not rely solely on foreclosure processes to reduce losses on homes in default, rather many found the need to engage in modifying loan terms to allow borrowers to continue making mortgage payments. Modifications that increased the affordability of monthly payments were effective at halving the cumulative 36-month redefault rate for mortgages between 2008 and 2011. Findings indicate the improving economy and mortgage risk characteristics are not enough to explain the reduction in redefault. Instead, results find evidence of "learning -by-doing" i.e., servicers become better at targeting borrowers for modification and providing the appropriate payment relief over time. Voluntary government modification programs serve as guidelines for servicers to design and invest in their own modification processes. The impact of this learning by doing is evident before and after controlling for macroeconomic conditions, borrower characteristics, and loan terms. Previous studies do not effectively isolate the improvement in post-modification with an econometric model using a control group similar to this one. Furthermore, other studies consider only particular servicer subsets of mortgage modifications, such as private securitized, whereas the sample here considers all servicer types and payment reducing modifications. Ultimately, the results indicate mortgage modifications were an effective non-foreclosure alternative to keep homeowners in their homes and monthly payments flowing to mortgage servicers. Chapter 3 examines the impact of changes in bank competition on bank capital in the United States. Allen et al. (2011) proposes excessive capital holdings, i.e., capital holdings above regulatory requirements, are attributable to market discipline arising from banks' asset side. Theory predicts competition incentivizes banks to hold higher levels of capital because this indicates a commitment to monitoring to encourage bank stability. I examine heterogeneous impacts of competition on capital over the business cycle and across bank size. Economic downturns usually bring significant changes to bank concentration, which can cause a different impact than during economic booms. Smaller banks can feel different competitive pressures than larger banks due to a focus on local lending activities. I have two main results. More intense competition is associated with higher bank capital ratios at all times (before, during, and after the financial crisis) for small, medium, and large banks. All banks see a larger impact during the crisis period compared to the pre- and post-crisis periods. The findings of this paper can have significant policy implications for the application of anti-trust regulation, since capital ratios are commonly used to restrain individual and systemic bank risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of our country's greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression, the need to better understand the risks and behaviors associated with financial intermediaries has become apparent. In particular, the literature distinguishes between traditional or depository based financial intermediaries and their market based or non depository counterparts. This dissertation focuses on understanding the behavioral differences across these two groups by examining their equity based risk differences, their stock market delisting differences, and lastly how these firms react to economic policy uncertainty. The first essay uses an equity based approach to quantify the average firm level risk that is associated with these intermediary groups. While these intermediaries, at times, demonstrate similar risk behaviors, the market based financial intermediaries display a distinct ten year period of greater risk beginning in 1994. Since the 1980s there has been a trend of increasing financial market instability that is commonly attributed to increasing competition, securitization, and deregulation. Using a historical decomposition approach, I analyze which of these factors best explains the changing relative risk behaviors across the traditional and market based intermediaries. The most important factor in driving these behaviors was deregulation, with competition also having a significant impact. The second essay examines the stock market survival behavior of each of these respective groups and the role that risk plays in explaining delisting due to firm failure, as well as merger and acquisition activity. Using survival analysis, the delisting behavior of these intermediaries is examined where the market based firms are more likely to delist relative to the traditional firms due to both firm failure and M and A activity. Additionally, idiosyncratic risk is found to have a statistically significant impact in driving these behaviors. The last essay focuses on how each of these intermediary groups alters their balance sheet in the face of economic uncertainty. Specifically, I examine how the debt financing behavior of these firms reacts to an economic policy uncertainty shock using a macroeconomic approach. The key results, from the impulse response and variance decomposition analysis, indicate that market based financial intermediaries tend to have faster responses to policy uncertainty relative to traditional intermediaries, however the small traditional financial intermediaries have the largest response.

Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation investigates the role of misintermediation in macroeconomic fluctuations. A perennial problem of financial markets is that of maturity mismatching, or misintermediation, a situation in which financial intermediaries fund long-term, illiquid loans with short-term liabilities. McCulloch (1981) concludes that misintermediation can be responsible for business cycles and predicts pro-cyclic behavior of surprises in real interest rates over business cycles. In my dissertation, I study the issue from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. An interpolation method for yield curve fitting is also specified to enable the empirical study of misintermediation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world is experiencing increasingly complex social and environmental challenges. The prevailing business models and, to some extent, capitalism per se, are frequently blamed for these problems due to their neglect of social and environmental values in favour of financial returns. Within this context, social finance has attracted the attention of governments, organizations, entrepreneurs, and researchers as a means of mobilizing resources and innovation with the goal of establishing effective long-term solutions. This edited collection summarizes, discusses, and analyzes new innovative trends in social finance. It features contributions that aim to highlight emerging trends (products, tools, and processes) in social finance, present a series of case studies related to the development, deployment, and scaling of social finance innovations, offer an understanding of how non-economic externalities are being incorporated, managed, and assessed in recent innovations, reveal the disruptive potential of social finance innovations by analyzing how they are redefining mainstream finance, analyze the scales – of operation and impact – of different innovations, and explore the complex relationship between social finance and social innovation. Featuring contributions from both the research and practitioner community as well as policy actors, the book provides more than a snapshot of the current social finance field by specifically highlighting the major challenges and difficulties that require the urgent attention of policymakers and social entrepreneurs.
