Fairly Priced Deposit Insurance and Bank Charter Policy

Roger Craine

Journal of Finance, 1995, vol. 50, issue 5, 1735-46

Abstract: The thrust of current deposit insurance reform--risk-based insurance premiums and capital requirements--is an effort to price deposit insurance more fairly. Fairly pricing deposit insurance eliminates inequitable wealth transfers but it does not lead to an efficient equilibrium. This paper shows that an alternative charter policy results in an efficient separating equilibrium. Copyright 1995 by American Finance Association.
