9. exampleexample I empty Timmy’s piggy bank open a savings account $50 I empty Timmy’s piggy bank open a savings account $50

10. $50 in cash increases assets $50 in savings increases liabilities $50 in cash increases assets $50 in savings increases liabilities

11. suppose required reserves are 10% of deposits  required reserve ratio suppose required reserves are 10% of deposits  required reserve ratio

12. bank lends excess reserves,

18. III. Managing Credit Risk loans are primary asset  problems of adverse selection -- BEFORE loan moral hazard -- AFTER loan loans are primary asset  problems of adverse selection -- BEFORE loan moral hazard -- AFTER loan

19. Banks gather information screening  adverse selection  credit history (FICO score)  industry specialization in lending -- become experts in screening, -- but lack of diversification increase risk of assets screening  adverse selection  credit history (FICO score)  industry specialization in lending -- become experts in screening, -- but lack of diversification increase risk of assets

20. monitoring  moral hazard  monitor borrow after loan -- restrictive covenants -- enforce agreements monitoring  moral hazard  monitor borrow after loan -- restrictive covenants -- enforce agreements

21. example of monitoring  mortgage escrow account -- banks collects monthly insurance, tax payments from homeowner -- ensures that owner pays taxes, insurance example of monitoring  mortgage escrow account -- banks collects monthly insurance, tax payments from homeowner -- ensures that owner pays taxes, insurance

22. long-term customers  less screening & monitoring  encouraged with better terms long-term customers  less screening & monitoring  encouraged with better terms

23. collateral  protects bank from loss  adverse selection -- discourages certain borrowers  moral hazard -- discourages borrower risk- taking, since borrower is risking property collateral  protects bank from loss  adverse selection -- discourages certain borrowers  moral hazard -- discourages borrower risk- taking, since borrower is risking property

24. credit rationing  riskier borrowers would be willing to pay high rates  good borrowers won’t  so banks will not lend to certain borrowers at ANY rate or only small amounts credit rationing  riskier borrowers would be willing to pay high rates  good borrowers won’t  so banks will not lend to certain borrowers at ANY rate or only small amounts

25. IV.

26. liabilities  cost of funds goes up with interest rates -- rates on CDs, money market accounts very sensitive -- rates on savings, checking not as sensitive liabilities  cost of funds goes up with interest rates -- rates on CDs, money market accounts very sensitive -- rates on savings, checking not as sensitive

27. overall impact rising interest rates  asset income will go up  cost of funds will go up total impact depends on  amount of rate-sensitive assets vs. rate-sensitive liabilities rising interest rates  asset income will go up  cost of funds will go up total impact depends on  amount of rate-sensitive assets vs. rate-sensitive liabilities

28. banks typically borrow short-term and lend long-term so rate sensitive liabilities > rate sensitive assets so as interest rates rise  costs increase faster than income  bank profits fall  banks must manage interest rate risk banks typically borrow short-term and lend long-term so rate sensitive liabilities > rate sensitive assets so as interest rates rise  costs increase faster than income  bank profits fall  banks must manage interest rate risk
