Macro prudential policies from a micro prudential angle

Tito Cordella and Samuel Pienknagura

No 6721, Policy Research Working Paper Series from The World Bank

Abstract: The standard macro(prudential) models focus on externalities and treat all prudential instruments as alternative, but equivalent, forms of Pigouvian taxes. This paper explicitly models individual banks'risk choices and shows that different prudential instruments affect banks'risk-taking incentives differently. Thus, conflicts may arise between the micro and macro prudential stance.
