Retracted: Risk Management in Financial Institutions

Abstract: We study risk management in financial institutions using data on hedging of interest rate and foreign exchange risk. We find strong evidence that institutions with higher net worth hedge more, controlling for risk exposures, across institutions and within institutions over time. For identification, we exploit net worth shocks resulting from loan losses due to declines in house prices. Institutions that sustain such shocks reduce hedging significantly relative to otherwise‐similar institutions. The reduction in… Show more

“…Begenau, Piazzesi, and Schneider (2015) and Begenau and Stafford (2019) find that bank balance sheets are heavily exposed to interest rates. Rampini, Viswanathan, and Vuillemey (2020) find that banks hedge more of their interest rate risk if their net worth is larger. Our paper shows that banks' balance sheet exposure is hedged by the deposit franchise.…”

“…Duffie and Singleton, 2012;Bülbül et al, 2019;Psillaki et al, 2010), and financial institutions may respond to financial risk by cutting down credit supply and operating cost and such actions can affect the customers they serve (e.g. Hull, 2012;Rampini et al, 2020). Secondly, this study also contributes to the financial inclusion literature.…”

“…two, as both promises to hedging counterparties and financiers need to be collateralized. Rampini and Viswanathan (2017) apply this logic to financial intermediaries and Rampini et al (2017) and Vuillemey (2019) provide empirical evidence on interest rate and foreign exchange risk management by financial institutions. Better capitalized institutions and institutions with higher net worth engage in relatively more hedging activity.…”

“…The third friction of our model is that traders are risk averse. Froot, Scharfstein, and Stein (1993) were the first to formalize that firms that are financially constrained are risk averse in their net worth, giving them an incentive to hedge. The same argument extends to financial institutions as demonstrated in Froot and Stein (1998).…”
