The Costs and Benefits of Liquidity Regulations

Author

Listed:

Abstract

We find that, relative to other banks, those subject to the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) reduce lending and liquidity creation but also contribute less to fire-sale externalities. For large LCR banks, we estimate the total after-tax benefits of reduced fire-sale risk (net of the costs associated with foregone lending) exceed $50 billion from the second quarter of 2013 to 2017. We additionally document large increases in both lending and liquidity creation by midsized, non-LCR banks, such that the average bank lends more and creates an equivalent amount of liquidity per dollar of assets following LCR. Our findings highlight the migration of liquidity creation activities from regulated to un- regulated banks.
