  • Trust and Financial Crisis Experiences
    DNB Working Paper No. 389 / August 2013 C. van der Cruijsen, J. de Haan and D. Jansen Trust and Financial Crisis Experiences APER P ORKING DNB W Trust and Financial Crisis Experiences Carin van der Cruijsen, Jakob de Haan and David-Jan Jansen * * Views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect official positions of De Nederlandsche Bank. De Nederlandsche Bank NV Working Paper No. 389 P.O. Box 98 1000 AB AMSTERDAM August 2013 The Netherlands Trust and Financial Crisis Experiences1 Carin van der Cruijsen2, Jakob de Haan3, and David-Jan Jansen4 August 2013 Abstract Using eight annual surveys from the Netherlands between 2006 and 2013, we examine whether financial crisis experiences affect trust in banks, trust in the banking supervisor, and generalized trust. Adverse experiences during the financial crisis do not only directly lower trust in banks, but also have a negative effect on generalized trust. Customers of a bank that ran into problems have less trust in banks than respondents without this experience. Our results also indicate that respondents who were customer of a bank that failed have a significantly stronger decline of generalized trust than respondents without this experience. Personal financial crisis experiences do not have a significant effect on trust in the banking supervisor.

De Nederlandsche Bank NV Working Paper No. 502 P.O. Box 98 1000 AB AMSTERDAM February 2016 The Netherlands The changing composition of the supervisory boards of the eight largest banks and insurers during 2008-2014 and the impact of the “4+4 suitability screenings”* Mijntje Lückerath-Roversa and Margriet Stavast-Groothuisb a Tilburg University/TIAS, the Netherlands b De Nederlandsche Bank, the Netherlands 15 February 2016 Abstract In this article we describe the changes in the composition of management boards and supervisory boards that have taken place in the Dutch financial sector since 2008. In particular, we consider the effects of the introduction of suitability screening for executive directors and supervisory directors at the four largest banks and the four largest insurers in the Netherlands (the “4+4 screenings”). In the summer of 2012, the supervisory directors of these eight institutions were the first group to undergo suitability screening, enabling the impact of screening on the composition of the board to be examined in isolation. This article demonstrates that the composition of the management boards and supervisory boards of these Dutch financial institutions has changed substantially since 2008.
