  • Reflections on Northern Rock: the Bank Run That Heralded the Global
    Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 23, Number 1—Winter 2009—Pages 101–119 Reflections on Northern Rock: The Bank Run that Heralded the Global Financial Crisis Hyun Song Shin n September 2007, television viewers and newspaper readers around the world saw pictures of what looked like an old-fashioned bank run—that is, I depositors waiting in line outside the branch offices of a United Kingdom bank called Northern Rock to withdraw their money. The previous U.K. bank run before Northern Rock was in 1866 at Overend Gurney, a London bank that overreached itself in the railway and docks boom of the 1860s. Bank runs were not uncommon in the United States up through the 1930s, but they have been rare since the start of deposit insurance backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In contrast, deposit insurance in the United Kingdom was a partial affair, funded by the banking industry itself and insuring only a part of the deposits—at the time of the run, U.K. bank deposits were fully insured only up to 2,000 pounds, and then only 90 percent of the deposits up to an upper limit of 35,000 pounds. When faced with a run, the incentive to withdraw one’s deposits from a U.K. bank was therefore very strong. For economists, the run on Northern Rock at first seemed to offer a rare opportunity to study at close quarters all the elements involved in their theoretical models of bank runs: the futility of public statements of reassurance, the mutually reinforcing anxiety of depositors, as well as the power of the media in galvanizing and channeling that anxiety through the power of television images.

Writing in the pages of the New 25 York Times, Sperry argued that any future terrorist offender is likely to be young, 26 male and Muslim: 27 Young Muslim men bombed the London tube, and young Muslim men attacked New 28 York with planes in 2001. From everything we know about the terrorists who may be 29 taking aim at our transportation system, they are most likely to be young Muslim men.1 30 It makes no sense, Sperry contends, to search old ladies or children. Instead, the 31 police should target the high-risk population. Profiling, Sperry writes, is ‘based on 32 statistics. Insurance companies profile policyholders based on probability of risk. 33 That’s just smart business. Likewise, profiling passengers based on proven security 34 risk is just smart law enforcement.’2 A similar column appeared in the Washington 35 Post the next day, arguing that ‘politically correct screenings won’t catch Jihadists’: 36 37 It is a simple statistical fact.
