Abstract:
This paper develops an endogenous network model of banks to study how financial networks interact with financial regulation. In the model, to meet regulation requirements banks optimally choose the number of counterparties to connect with and the amount of shares to trade with them to diversify their portfolios. Endogenous network structures are explicitly solved in the work and a partial order is derived for these network structures based on their systemic riskiness. Finally, the equilibrium regulation is discussed. I find that: 1) When the regulator can monitor network formation and has commitment power, the first best outcome can be achieved; 2) When the regulator cannot monitor network formation and banks have commitment power, banks commit to a bang-bang network formation pattern: to form the systemically least-risky networks if the regulation is looser than a threshold and the most-risky networks if the regulation is tighter than the threshold; being afraid that banks may form the most-risky networks, the regulator imposes a suboptimal capital requirement level that is looser than the socially optimal one; the least-risky networks are then formed but the maximal social welfare of the most-risky networks realizes.
