Anticipatory discount window stigma

Sam Schulhofer-Wohl

Dallas Fed Economics from Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas

Abstract: Observers often assert that stigma—a perception that depositors, investors or others will penalize an institution for borrowing from the discount window—keeps banks from borrowing when they should, making the facilities less effective. Dallas Fed Senior Vice President Sam Schulhofer-Wohl argues that some harms of discount window stigma can be mitigated regardless of whether stigma itself persists.
