No 412, BIS Working Papers from Bank for International Settlements

Abstract: The paper examines the basic rationale and features of the proposals adopted to separate specific investment and commercial banking activities (Volcker rule, Vickers and Liikanen proposals). In particular, it focuses on the likely implications of such initiatives for: (i) financial stability and systemic risk; (ii) banks' business models; and (iii) the international activities of global banks.

Keywords: regulation; bank business models; systemic risk; economies of scale; economies of scope; too big to fail (search for similar items in EconPapers)
