    INSPIRE Theme 6 Assessing the effectiveness and impact of central bank and supervisory policies in greening the financial system Overview of the projects funded under the third call for research proposals September 2020 PROJECT Energy transition intersectoral dependencies under different monetary and supervisory policy scenarios Moutaz Altaghlibi a and Rens van Tilberga a Sustainable Finance Lab, Utrecht University, The Netherlands As we transition our economies to a low carbon path, climate related transition risks to the financial sector pose a challenge to policy makers in their policy design. The unprecedented climate challenge requires the use and the development of new tools in order to quantify these risks and investigate the role of different policies to steer the transition in the right direction. Central banks and financial regulators can play an essential role in facilitating a successful transition by directing the funds needed to achieve this transition in the right direction and in a timely manner. However, any intervention by central banks should be evaluated across sectors and across scenarios in order to guarantee the effectiveness, efficiency and coherence with fiscal policies. Our methodology is scenario analysis based on a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. Our CGE model allows us to capture feedback loops across sectors, along with tracking the change in prices and quantities following an exogenous change in policies, technologies, or consumer preferences. Moreover, in order to capture both risks and opportunities associated to the transition process, our model distinguishes between green and grey sub-sectors. It also uses sector-specific capital stocks which allows us to differentiate the cost of capital across sectors/scenarios.

  • The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
    THE BANK HOLDING COMPANY ACT OF 1956 T HE Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,1 designed principally to regulate the expansion of bank holding companies and to insure the separation of banking and nonbanking enterprises,' is perhaps the most important banking legislation of the past two decades. The im- mediate economic consequences of the act are themselves deserving of comment, 3 but, even more significantly, the act represents the first comprehensive congressional action with regard to multiple banking through the use of the holding company. Though of comparatively recent origin,4 the bank holding company device has become as prom- inent as both the other forms of multiple banking, chains5 and branches,6 largely because of the economic inadequacies of the former 7 and the legal restrictions imposed upon the latter.8 A brief historical survey of bank holding company -development will serve to highlight an analysis of the act itself. Historically, the independent, unit bank, with its welfare dependent upon the economic health of the small area it serves, has too frequently been unable to withstand the adverse affect of even brief, localized eco- nomic depression2 Particularly in the small towns of the agrarian West and South during the i92O's and 193O's, bank suspensions occurred at an astonishing rate."

  • Investment Banking and Security Market Development: Does Finance
    Investment Banking and Security Market Development: Does Finance Follow Industry?∗ Bharat N. Anand† Alexander Galetovic‡ Harvard University Universidad de Chile February 2001 Abstract This paper looks at the industrial organization of the investment banking industry. Long- term relationships between business firms and investment banks are pervasive in developed security markets. A vast literature argues that better monitoring and information result from relationships. Thus, security markets should allocate resources better when an investment bank- ing industry exists. We study necessary conditions for sustainable relationships and then explore whether policy can do something to foster them. We argue that the structure of investment banking is determined by the economics of the technology of relationships: (i) Sunk set up cost to establish a relationship. (ii) The firm pays the investment bank only when it does a deal. (iii) To a significant degree the investment bank cannot prevent other banks from free riding on the information created by the relationship. Then: (a) Relationships can emerge in equilibrium only if the industry is an oligopoly of large investment banks with similar market shares. (b) Relationships are for large firms–small firms are rationed out of relationships by investment banks. (c) Scale economies due to entry costs are irrelevant when the market is large but can prevent an industry from emerging when the market is small. While policy can probably remove obstacles that increase the costs of relationships, the size- distribution of business firms determines whether an investment banking industry is feasible: it will not emerge if large firms are few. In this sense, “finance follows industry.” Large firms can escape this limitation by listing in foreign developed security markets.
