Implementing Basel II: Is the Game Worth the Candle?

Richard Herring

Financial Markets, Institutions & Instruments, 2005, vol. 14, issue 5, 267-287

Abstract: In this article the author provides an extensive analysis of the various aspects of the Basel II Accord. Notwithstanding the gains from adoption of Basel II, he argues that these gains are unlikely to outweigh the costs of implementation and compliance: Basel II will be very costly for banks, home and host country supervisors, and, to the extent that it exacerbates macroeconomic cycles, to the broader economy as well.
