Working papers Dr. Narly Dwarkasing Msc, Mphil:
I investigate the effects of the monetary rate, the interest rate set by the Central Bank, on bank risk taking by examining a sample of loan contracts secured by shares and extended by the North and South Wales Bank between 1881 and 1894. Collateralization by shares allows me to construct a measure of ex ante risk taking for each loan: the collateral value to loan amount ratio. Exploiting the fact that Britain was on the Gold Standard at that period in time allows me to address possible endogeneity issues. I use the number of gold rushes in a year as an instrumental variable for the monetary rate, by arguing that an unexpected windfall in the gold supply serves as an exogenous shock to the money supply, translating to a cut in the monetary rate. Results are consistent with theories indicating that low Central Bank interest rates can induce bank loan risk taking in the search for yields, as I find that collateral value to loan ratios are lowered following a cut in the monetary rate. I also find that low monetary rates corresponded with, on average, lower loan prices.
We study the effects of bank mergers and acquisitions in het U.K from 1885 to 1925. The lack of a regulatory authority and the confidential nature of merger negotiations allows us to precisely measure the wealth effects of M&As in a laissez-faire environment. We find positive wealth effects for bidders (0.7%-1%) and targets (6.7%-8%) over the announcement month. When takeovers took place in a competitive environment wealth creation appears to be related to efficiency gains. As competition decreased, gains to shareholders appear to be related to increased oligopoly power. In a less competitve environment, banks tended to reduce the amount of loans and increase their holdings of safe marketable securities. Banks with higher charter value displayed higher capital ratios.
