Abstract

The recent US regional banking crisis has gained considerable attention due to its potential for contagion and amplification of shocks. This paper employs the difference-in-differences method to examine the spillover effects of a regional bank failure on its peer institutions. By focusing on the bankruptcy case of Baoshang Bank in China, which serves as a natural experiment, we show that the bank's bankruptcy leads to a substantial increase in the riskiness of its peers’ loan portfolios. Specifically, our findings reveal a more pronounced impact on group-based loans, while digital credit remains unaffected. This study introduces a novel mechanism through which bank distress spillovers, providing valuable insights for financial institutions to optimize their lending strategies and for policymakers to make informed policy and regulatory decisions.
