Abstract

In this paper we present a model where frictions in the supervision process may set the stage for strategic complementarities among banks. We derive the conditions for strategic complementarities in the behavior of banks in a banking system in which the supervisory authority has a budget constraint on the resources to allocate for monitoring, and supervision is costly for banks. In such a framework, the goal of macroprudential policies consists in simultaneously restraining the incentive of banks in extending risky loans, without forcing the system towards a corner solution where all or none of the banks provide credit. We point out that the countercyclical bu er is a proper tool to reduce the number of banks issuing a higher amount of credit during booms, while a loan-support-program can increase the number of banks issuing higher credit during downturns.
