Special Roles played by FI’s Economy - Wide Services Information, Liquidity, Price risk reduction, Transaction cost and Maturity intermediation services Institution Specific Services Monetary policy transmission (depository Institutions), Credit allocation (thrifts, farm banks), Intergenerational Transfers (Insurance and pensions, payments services (depository institutions) and Denomination intermediation

18.

20. Special Roles played by FI’s Transmission of Monetary Policy The liquid nature of depository institutions make them the main way monetary policy is transmitted to the public Credit Allocation Primary suppliers of capital to special sectors of the economy (Residential lending for example) Intergenerational Transfer of Wealth Insurance and pension funds

21. The Impact of FI’s on Economic Growth Traditional Economic Theories of Growth Labor Usage and Capital Accumulation Limited by decreasing marginal returns to capital -- sustained growth requires productivity growth New Growth Theory Technological change increases productivity that offsets diminishing marginal returns Financial Sector Development promotes productivity growth Termed “Endogenous Growth”

22. The Impact of FI’s on Economic Growth Financial Development’s Impact Promotes Capital Accumulation & Productivity Growth Rajan and Zingales (1998) Young firms in higher productivity sectors depend upon external financing and benefit from low cost financing associated with financial development Galindo, Schiantarelli, and Weiss (2002) Financial liberalization in developing economies improves capital allocation Both Studies stress the importance of the quality of regulation, supervision and enforcement.

23. Regulation Given their vital role in the economy FI’s are highly regulated. The goal of this regulation is to protect against a disruption in the services they offer (provide confidence in the system). Some segments of the population could be discriminated against without regulation (race, gender etc) The difference the private benefits and private costs of regulation are the net regulatory burden.

24. Safety and Soundness Regulation Protects borrowers and depositors against failure of the FI Diversification requirements Minimum capital to asset ratios Guaranty funds provisions Monitoring and surveillance

25. Monetary Policy Regulation Since Financial Intermediaries serve as a conduit for monetary policy they merit special regulation. Reserve requirements, for example. Might make control of monetary policy more predictable.

26. Credit Allocation Regulation Supports lending to portions of the economy deemed socially important (housing and farming are two examples). Requiring a % of assets in a particular sector of the economy for example. Also interest rate restrictions.

27. Consumer Protection Regulation Home Mortgage Disclosure Act Prevents discrimination in lending based upon gender, race, age, or income. Requires standardized form on why credit is granted or denied May provide a heavy net regulatory burden without an offsetting social benefit.

28. Investor Protection Regulation Protection of investors that use investment banks directly. Insider trading restrictions, lack of disclosure and breach of fiduciary responsibility are examples.

29. Entry Regulation Barriers to entry can promote safety and soundness. Also impose costs on current market participants.
