TARP and Other Bank Bailouts and Bail-Ins around the World
1st Edition
Connecting Wall Street, Main Street, and the Financial System
Description
The main question touches everyone: are bailouts good for the economy? Is it essential to save failing financial institutions by putting taxpayer money at risk? Through careful analysis this book compares the short-run effects of bailouts to long-term consequences, emphasizing the moral hazard behavior caused by the bailouts at different levels and for different agents. Placing particular emphasis on one of the biggest bailouts of all time, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), Reconsidering TARP and Other Bank Bailouts sheds light ex ante on whether bailing out Wall Street really saves Main Street or the financial system.
Key Features
- Presents a theoretically-informed and empirically rich account of bailouts and their implications
- Uses TARP as a case study to paint a complete and balanced picture of bailout programs worldwide
- Illuminates the long run welfare analysis of a bailout program, still poorly developed in the economic literature
Readership
