EBA launches its staff papers series


The EBA launched its staff papers series, which provides a platform for EBA staff to disseminate research and thematic analyses to a wider public. The EBA Staff Papers series will make available selected studies on financial regulation, supervisory policy and legal issues of general interest with the aim of stimulating discussion and public debate.

The first two papers included in the series are: "Sharing the Pain? Credit Supply and Real Effects of Bank Bail-ins", co-authored by EBA staff member Samuel Da Rocha Lopes with Thorsten Beck and F. Silva from the Cass Business School, and "Identification of EU banks' business models" co-authored by EBA staff members Marina Cernov and Teresa Urbano.

The paper "Sharing the Pain? Credit Supply and Real Effects of Bank Bail-ins" analyses the credit supply and real sector effects of bank bail-ins and raises a fundamental follow-up question, which is a source of concern among regulators and policy-makers, particularly in Europe:  could more exposed firms compensate the credit supply tightening by accessing funds from other banks less affected by the shock, and were there any real effects associated with the intervention?

The paper "Identification of EU banks' business models" proposes a standardised classification of business models of EU banks. The work is based on a rich and unique dataset collected for the first time for the full population of EU banks at individual level. The proposed classification approach combines both a qualitative and a quantitative component. The qualitative component is based on an expert knowledge of the supervisory authority, which is confirmed or challenged by quantitative indicators. The business model categorisation can provide the supervisory and regulatory authorities with a benchmark for classifying institutions for a more structured and consistent approach to regulatory impact assessment, analysing trends and risks, proportionality, and supervision.
