Understanding the Components of Bank Failure Resolution Costs

Rosalind Bennett and Haluk Unal

Financial Markets, Institutions & Instruments, 2015, vol. 24, issue 5, 349-389

Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate how the resolution costs associated with over 1,000 bank failures from 1986 to 2007 are distributed across the method of resolution, bank size, regulatory periods, and the existence of fraud. In addition, we document the time spent in the resolution by the resolution method and legislative period. Finally, we show how various classes of claimants against the failed banks bear the costs of the failure.
