Which financial regulatory reforms promote economic prosperity? And why do societies find it so difficult to create financial systems that are both efficient and stable? The Working Group on Financial Regulation convenes an interdisciplinary network of scholars from economics, finance, law, political science, and history.

Banks and Beyond

Banks and Beyond

The Hoover Institution hosts Banks and Beyond on April 3-4, 2025. 

This conference will explore the implications of the rapid expansion of private credit markets and the growth of technologically advanced non-bank financial intermediaries (NFBIs) for the efficiency and stability of the U.S. financial system. What effects have they had on the allocation of credit to firms and households? What effects have they had on the efficiency of the payments system? Are they substitutes for, or complements to, the traditional banking sector? Do they increase or decrease the need for deposit insurance and supervision? Should they be regulated and supervised, and if so, how?

The events of March 2023 in the United States and Switzerland showed, once again, that banking systems remain fragile. The three US bank that failed were together close to the largest failure in history, and the failure of Credit Suisse, a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB), was dramatic. The events themselves and their proximate causes are well-known and much reviewed.

Do Large Banks Have an Advantage during Banking Crises? A Historical Investigation

Our analysis across history reveals a consistent trend: banking crises often lead to a consolidation of the banking sector, as the largest banks within each country rarely fail in crises and actually tend to increase their asset share after each crisis. This phenomenon, which we term the “survival of the biggest,” occurs even though the largest banks in each country tend to take more risk than smaller banks in the lead-up to banking crises and then perform worse during the crisis in terms of equity losses.
