Capital requirements for financial firms

Joseph Haubrich and James Thomson

Economic Commentary, 2012, issue Nov

Abstract: One of the reforms proposed for preventing financial crises is to require financial institutions to hold more capital. There are a number of unresolved issues related to such a requirement, ranging from the costs of increased capital requirements to the best way to structure them. Some of this research was presented at a recent conference, and we discuss the major findings in this Commentary.
