Can Deposit Insurance Increase the Risk of Bank Failure? Some Historical Evidence - Review
Many economists have argued that unless premiums are risk-based, deposit insurance will encourage banks to take greater risks than they otherwise would, thereby increasing the likelihood of failure. Because virtually all banks today are insured, isolating the effects of deposit insurance from other regulatory and economic conditions that affect bank performance is problematic.
The financial crisis and recession that began in 2007 brought a sharp increase in the number of bank failures in the United States. This article investigates characteristics of banks that failed and regional patterns in bank failure rates during 2007-10. The article compares the recent experience with that of 1987-92, when the United States last experienced a high number of bank failures.
