Regulation’s role in bank changes

Peter Olson

Economic Policy Review, 2012, issue Jul, 13-20

Abstract: This is the first article in a series which explores the changing role of banks in the financial intermediation process. It accompanies a Liberty Street Blog series. Both discuss the complexity of the credit intermediation chain associated with securitization and note the growing participation of nonbank entities within it. These series also discuss implications for monitoring and rulemaking going forward. In the article, the author argues that government involvement has been a significant factor in financial innovation and describes a number of the regulatory, legal, and policy decisions that have influenced the development of the new financial intermediation landscape and shaped banks' roles within it.
