Institutions and financial dollarization: Indirect effects based on a policy experiment

Author

Listed:
  • Neanidis, Kyriakos C.
  • Savva, Christos S.

Abstract

We provide evidence that institutional improvements lead to lower levels of financial dollarization through previously unidentified channels. These indirect channels operate in addition to the direct impact identified in the literature and further illustrate the importance of institutions for the extent of banking dollarization.
