Abstract
We incorporate the banks, defined as maturity-mismatching financial
intermediaries by Diamond and Rajan (2001a,2012), into an
overlapping-generations model where capital good is reproducible. We show
that, in our model, the laissez-faire banks take on undue risks, compared to
the social optimum, owing to the pecuniary externalities. Further, the model
replicates rare but severe crises without assuming any large exogenous
shocks because systemic bank runs take place endogenously followed by
sharp contractions in output. We also make policy assessment PCA based
on the model. We discuss about the efficiency of introducing PCA, then we
deliberate whether strengthening the required minimum level of capital is
effective for stability of the banking system or not.
1,Introduction
Since the global financial crisis for 2007-08, one of the challenges posed for
macroeconomists has been how to replicate systemic financial crises and
ensuring sharp contraction in macroeconomic activity in dynamic stochastic
general equilibrium (DSGE) models. The 2007-08 systemic financial crisis
could be interpreted as an unavoidable and unfortunate accident arising
from tail risks. In the meantime, Bernanke(2012) argues that the triggers of
the 2007-08 crisis were quite modest in size while heavy dependence on
short-term funding, high leverage, and inadequate risk management in the
(shadow) banking sector that engaged in maturity transformation was key
vulnerability of the system for the devastating outcomes of the crisis. In a
related context of the underlying vulnerabilities, others argue that there
might have been erosion of discipline owing to the anticipated bank bailouts.
This paper develops a dynamic general equilibrium model with
maturity-mismatching banks and explores how individual banks could take

2.2 Agents
Households are risk averse and subject to a liquidity shock that affects their
preference for consumption over two periods. The liquidity shock is an
aggregate shock and the only source of the uncertainty in the model. They
aim to smooth their consumption intertemporally. Following DR, they are
endowed with a unit of consumption good at birth and do not consume the
initially endowed consumption goods at the beginning of period t. they
deposit all initial endowments at banks operating in the same generation.
They receive wages in the competitive labor market by supplying one
unit of labor in both periods, t and t+1.
Under the competitive banking sector, each household accepts the banks
offer on deposit face value at the beginning of period t, and observes the
liquidity shock in the middle of period t. the liquidity shock is common
across all households in the same generation and has the probability density
function f( ) with a support of [0,1]. This shock represents households
preference for consumption when young and signals the need for liquidity in
period t.
After the realization of , households make their decisions for consumption
smoothing without uncertainty. Given that a crisis does not take place,

period t, the banks receive signals that perfectly predict the realized
value
in period t+1. With this information and the households
liquidity demand observed in period t, each bank can choose one of the
options: (i) to liquidate projects in period t, obtaining X of consumption goods
per project; or (ii) to collect a fractionq t+1
from a completed project in
period t+1. The bank liquidates the project if the outcome of a project falls
short of

Otherwise, the bank continues the project, and then receives repayment

withdrawals, the banks consume the consumption goods.

Here the equation suggests that the capital goods supply sharply declines, in
the aftermath of a crisis. Throughout the paper, we use to denote
the wage rate and the marginal product of labor evaluated at +1 = .
Finally, both young and old generations supply a unit of labor in each period.
Therefore, the labor market clearing condition is

Above these conditions, we can lead the optimal bank leverage in LF and SP
banks. We show the result that LF banks are overleveraged at the LF
equilibrium by suggesting the graph below2.

Recall that a bank in the LF economy takes other banks decisions as given,

smaller than the labor share(e.g., = 3). With the Cobb-Douglass production,
these shares, and 1 , can also be interpreted as the elasticities of wages
and the capital price with respect to +1 , respectively, both of which
translate into demand and supply in the liquidity market. SP banks can
internalize all the factor prices via the production technology. Due to this
internalization by the SP banks, a discrepancy arises. This is
positive under condition1 since we assume that the capital price is more
sensitive to changes in the capital than wages and/or the supply curve is

relatively flatter than the demand curve with respect to in the liquidity
market. Then, we are ready to state proposition 1.
Proposition1 Under condition1, , is strictly larger than , .
Proof.
Proposition 1 provides a foundation for understanding why the crisis
probability is higher in the LF economy than in the social optimum. We focus
on the key discrepancy between ( ) ( ). We represent (30)

3.2 Calibration
We provide numerical solutions of the model in this subsection to see the
concrete results of the banks leverage, a crisis probability, and the household
expected utility.
We assume that the liquidity shock follows the beta distribution with a
mean of 0.50and a standard deviation of 0.07. And we collect the other
parameters under the table:

Basically, (37) is not a solvency constraint for banks because, even if the
constraint is violated, banks may still hold positive capital and remain

Using the new notations, the bona fide solvency constraint of the bank is

Under the PCA, the threshold level of the liquidity shock for banks solvency

is the liquidity supply under the PCA, which is also a function of and

PCA is

(46)
We then state the banks problem under the capital requirement with the
PCA:

6. Conclusion
Comparing with LF economy and SP economy, we showed that LF banks are
likely to get excessive leverages and operate inefficiently. In comparison with
LF economy, SP economy remains lower leverage and crisis probability in
spite of remaining high expected utility of households. So we get the ground
for government intervention to rein in excessive leverage of banks.
Previous study showed that introducing of PCA can make leverage low and
the banking system efficient. However, the success of this policy option
largely depends on how efficiently the GC can managed troubled banks
under receivership. In the situation that is fully low, the crisis
probability may be higher than LF economy even if the GC strengthen .
In this paper, we showed that internalizing with respect to lead the
optimal level of required minimum capital ratio . As a result, we are able
to raise a doubt with respect to strengthening BIS accord in recent years and
insist that we should discuss strengthening BIS accord more deliberately.
7. Further discussion
In the verification in this time, we derived optimal under the particular
condition. But it is possible that a corner solution may be led according to
second order differential of (A) and (B) because slope between (A) and (B)
may be different largely, then optimal may be over 0 1. Hereafter,
we need to set the equilibrium to lead optimal along the real economy
and hope to discuss more strictly this problem according to the setting set
more rigidly.
