Regulation of Financial Institutions – Fall 2014

Class Thirteen -- October 8, 2014

Readings for this class consist of two parts. The first is an excerpt from a chapter on Bank Resolution Procedures by Randall Guynn and John Douglas in Debt Restructuring (2011) (Rodrigo Olivares-Caminal, et al. eds.). In addition to covering resolution procedures, the chapter also includes some background information on supervisory practices. In class, we will do a resolution exercise drawing on these materials. The second reading, which you should skim quickly, is a 2013 GAO Report on Causes and Consequences of Recent Bank Failures. Note the emphasis on loan loss provisioning.
