Berlin Science Week 2020

Using their recent discussion paper as a basis, Profs. Gropp and Rocholl will look at the current state of banking in Europe and the effects of the coronavirus crisis. They will assess the cleansing effects of the recent banking crisis. In U.S. regions with higher levels of supervisory forbearance on distressed banks during the crisis, there was less restructuring in the real sector and the banking sector remained less healthy for several years after the crisis. Regions with less supervisory forbearance experienced higher productivity growth after the crisis with more firm entries, job creation, and employment, wages, patents, and output growth. Based upon this assessment, they will discuss various possible scenarios for banking and finance after the current coronavirus crisis.

The event is part of Berlin Science Week 2020.
