    Happy to see my paper on election cycles in macroprudential regulation forthcoming in the AEJ: Economic Policy. The punchline: if you think macroprudential policy will prevent the next financial crisis, politics are a key friction that might get in the way.

    Happy to see this forthcoming in @J_Fin_Economics. Long story short: when bankruptcy courts have to handle fewer cases, lenders increase the supply of credit because their expected recovery values go up. Apart from the US setting also relevant for developing countries.

    🚨 What do 200+ years of data tell us about bank runs? How often do they happen? Do they matter for the macroeconomy? My recent paper provides some answers. Data and paper: systemicbankruns.com. 🧵👇 based on joint work with @RustamJamilov, @Tobi_Koenig, and @farzado.
