Governing the banking system: an assessment of resilience based on Elinor Ostrom's design principles

Abstract: The problem of financial stability is political and institutional, rather than narrowly economic. To achieve a more resilient financial system, we need to pay attention to the incentives of actors who have the power to act discretionarily, and to the knowledge limitations of such actors in the face of substantial complexity and uncertainty. The literature on polycentric governance and institutional resilience provides key insights that the literature on financial stability has thus far neglected. We offer an a… Show more

“…Antifragility has similarities to Ostrom's (2010) theory of resilient governance. Such resilience entails more than the mere ability to bounce back from shocks; resilience encompasses robustness and adaptability (Salter and Tarko, 2019).…”

“…There are those approaches that go further, beyond a conception of 'taming finance', to one in which knowledge about uncertainty itself is a problem necessitating concern, and in which there are subsequent significant limitations to relevant institutional design (Salter and Tarko, 2019).…”

“…It raises the question of whether or not uncertainty is ultimately "beyond science and rationality and thus beyond a politics of control or a science of management and mitigation" (Jarvis, 2010: 17). This approach features in discourses of 'resilience' that have become prevalent in recent years (Salter and Tarko, 2019), especially associated with an engagement with complexity theory by influential central bank officials, such as Andrew Haldane at the Bank of England, and an outlook that essentially holds that "the financial sector produces a form of uncertainty that cannot be addressed through traditional regulatory mechanisms" (Brassett and Holmes, 2016: 379). While productive and a radical departure for much economic and finance theory, the conceptual move to understanding financial markets in terms of complexity theory still holds that accurate modelling is possible for monitoring future uncertainty in financial markets (e.g., Battiston et al, 2016).…”

“…Commonly used methods of measuring efficiency are based on three approaches: index, parametric and nonparametric [12]. Regarding banks, among the classic efficiency indicators are the following: profitability, profitability, the burden on the financial result, and employment efficiency [13].…”
