Managing risk taking with interest rate policy and macroprudential regulations / by Simona E. Cociuba, Malik Shukayev, and Alexander Ueberfeldt.: FB3-5/2016-47E-PDF

"We develop a model in which a financial intermediary’s investment in risky assets—risktaking— is excessive due to limited liability and deposit insurance and characterize thepolicy tools that implement efficient risk taking. In the calibrated model, coordinatinginterest rate policy with state-contingent macroprudential regulations, either capital orleverage regulation, and a tax on profits achieves efficiency. Interest rate policy mitigatesexcessive risk taking by altering both the return and the supply of collateralizable safeassets. In contrast to commonly used capital regulation, leverage regulation has strongereffects on risk taking and calls for higher interest rates"--Abstract, p. ii.
