Abstract: Abstract Securitization has significantly changed the traditional role of banks acting as intermediaries between borrowers and depositors. In the traditional bank lending model, banks screen borrowers and extend loans to creditworthy ones. They hold the loans while monitoring borrowers until maturity. In the traditional “originate to hold” model, banks reduce idiosyncratic risks mainly through portfolio diversification and perform the role of delegated monitors for less informed investors (Diamond 1984; Ramakrishnan and Thakor 1984; Bhattacharya and Chiesa 1995; Holmstrom and Tirole 1997). Securitization, on the other hand, allows banks to sell otherwise illiquid loans and off-load part of credit exposure to third parties, and enables them to raise new funds to increase further lending. This model is termed “originate to distribute”.
