Reforming deposit insurance: lessons from the savings and loan crisis

Michael Dotsey and Anatoli Kuprianov

Economic Review, 1990, vol. 76, issue Mar, 3-28

Abstract: A history of the collapse of the savings and loan industry. The authors contend that FSLICs institutional structures, established decades ago, made a thrift crisis inevitable. Poorly designed incentive structures strongly encouraged regulators and thrift managers to delay proper action when thrifts became insolvent. The authors present recommendations to prevent a recurrence of the crisis.
