Moral hazard in a voluntary deposit insurance system: Revisited

Pablo Camacho-Gutiérrez () and González-Cantú, Vanessa M.

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper extends Wheelock and Kumbhakar’s (1995) test for moral hazard in the Kansas deposit insurance system (1910-1920). This paper tests and finds evidence of omitted bank-specific effects. Estimates in Wheelock and Kumbhakar (1995), as a result, are biased. This paper introduces unobserved individual heterogeneity to the test for moral hazard, corrects their estimates, and finds more evidence of moral hazard in the Kansas deposit insurance system.
