The German far right and the scars of reunificationOliver HoltemöllerFinancial Times, September 6, 2024
This paper studies how banks compete amid digital disruption and the resulting distributional effect across consumers. Digital disruption increases the geographic coverage of banking services, bringing new entrants to local markets.
Using matched bank-firm-level data and the 2014 depreciation of the euro, we show that exchange rate depreciations can lead to higher loan supply.
Workshop topics include competition and risk-taking of individual banks, the (e)valuation of climate risks by financial institutions and in financial markets, the stability of the financial sector and its regulation and the role of real estate markets for financial system resilience. The workshop aims at linking young economists interested in related topics and provides a platform to exchange ideas and discuss recent contributions.
The Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) and the International Network for Economic Research were organising a workshop on current challenges for monetary policy (in particular for the Euro area), and economic dynamics in a currency union.
We study the effects of financial and technological innovation by banks on local competition for deposits and credit supply.
We study loan conditions when bank branches close and firms subsequently transfer to a branch of another bank in the vicinity.
We examine how state ownership of banks may have contributed to the ascent to power of Vladimir Putin during the Russian presidential elections of March 2000.
