Outline I – Motivation II – Literature review III – The Model IV – The data V – Main findings
I – Motivation Most studies on bank competition are based upon margins which are not net of credit losses Banks make their pricing decisions considering not just operational and financial (funds) costs but also the expected percentage credit loss on the loan Banks make decisions not just on their loan (interest rate) prices but also on their acceptable levels of risk Actual quantities depend upon not just prices but also on the bank’s decision concerning acceptable expected credit losses
Expected credit losses absent from either the “traditional” “reduced-form” approach and the “structural form” approach to model and measure banking competition Some recent studies introduced effective credit losses as a control variable, including Bikker and Haaf (2002), Bikker et al. (2006) and Casu and Girardone (2006). Dermine (1986) treated them as exogenous. This implies that either margins or Lerner indices may be upward biased and that high risk could wrongly be taken market power The partial endogeneity of credit risk has mostly been ignored. Main exception is Liang (1989), by simultaneously estimating a profit function and a risk function. Martín-Oliver et al. (2007), provide a valuable contribution by estimating loans’ risk premium and adjusting loans’ marginal costs accordingly. II – Literature review
Bank’s use their own internal credit risk model to determine each borrower’s probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD). Expected Loss = PD × LGD × Exposure Stiglitz – Weiss (1981) expect banks to control their exposure to individual customers (credit rationing) We model banks as deciding the maximum acceptable expected loss on a loan (this is usually done by setting a scoring cutoff) Given a certain distribution of borrowers and their losses, setting the maximum expected loss also determines the average expected loss for that group of borrowers. Thus, we use expected average credit losses as the control variable III – The model
Demand for Loans: Demand for Deposits: Objective function: st: control: rlit ; rdit ; Bit ; it III – The model: main equations
Example: Price and expected loss of Loans With the additional assumptions: Similar equations for price of deposits and for branches We take “conjectural variations” as mere deviations from perfect competition III – The model: FOC and conjectural variations
We use a Banco de Portugal proprietary database that combines both accounting and statistical data for each single bank operating in Portugal. Complete and accurate characterisation of the individual banks and their activities, both in terms of outstanding amounts and at the margin. Period 1997 - 2004 We obtained data for new loans and deposits granted/accepted at each period (quarter), thus being able to use effective marginal prices rather than average prices as in most studies. We use each bank’s average effective losses during the period as a proxy of their expected losses Data on rivals: for interest rates and expected losses, weighted average of the (n – 1) rivals; for branches, sum of all (n – 1) rivals’ branches. IV – The data
The system of non-linear equations using the full information maximum likelihood technique (FIML); Starting values were obtained from single equation estimates of Lit and Dit before estimating all the equations jointly (fixed effects) White (1980) robust estimates for the variance-covariance matrix of the parameters.
