Endogenous Deposit Dollarization

Abstract: This paper explores sources of deposit dollarization unrelated to standard moral hazard arguments. We develop a model in which banks choose the optimal currency composition of their liabilities. We argue that the equal treatment of peso and dollar claims in the event of bank default can induce banks to attract dollar deposits above the socially desirable level.The distortion arises because dollar deposits are the only source of default risk in the model, but dollar depositors share the burden of the default wi… Show more

“…Thus-for given market deposit rates-households which expect higher domestic inflation and/or a stronger depreciation of the local currency will be more likely to prefer foreign currency deposits. Broda and Levy-Yeyati (2006) provide a market failure theory of asset substitution. In their model a positive correlation between exchange rate risk and default risk encourages banks to finance themselves with foreign currency deposits.…”

“…Z kolei mocarstwa sektorowe również są globalnymi aktorami, jednak ich dominacja ujawnia się tylko w określonych dziedzinach, na przykład w kwestiach militarnych, w gospodarce czy nawet jeszcze ściślej -w handlu. W końcu mocarstwa regionalne mają zdolność wpływania na innych uczestników na różnych polach aktywności państwowej, ale jedynie w danych regionach świata 3 . Główną determinantą działania wielkich mocarstw jest ich umiejętność wpływania na zachowania innych aktorów stosunków międzynarodowych (zarówno na inne państwa, jak i na organizacje).…”

“…Most studies conducted in the early 2000s (e.g. Honohan and Shi, 2001;Broda and Levy Yeyati, 2006;De Nicoló et al, 2003;Levy Yeyati, 2006) focused on deposit dollarisation, i.e. foreign currency deposits as a share of either broad money or total deposits, due to substantial lack of data on loan dollarisation, but also because at that time the main policy concern was that of a run on deposits.…”

Empirical work on this issue has yet been severely constrained by the absence of comprehensive and systematic data on unofficial dollarisation/euroisation, however (see e.g.…”
