Banks' Foreign Homes
Duration: 01.01.2023 bis 30.06.2025

This project analyses the drivers of banks' lending behaviour backed by real estate during the low interest rate environment. Typical drivers of cross-border activities of banks are distance, cultural similarities or institutional factors. Also profit opportunities play an important role. Especially during the low interest rate environment recently experienced in the euro area, banks might actively search for yield by investing abroad. Our study tests whether such motives can be observed in the data.

International Banking and Global Supply Chain Disruptions
Duration: 01.01.2022 bis 31.12.2024

Trade and financial flows are globally intertwined, and trade exposures might drive banks' cross-border lending decisions. In this study, we investigate how global supply chain exposures affect international lending activities of banks. For identification, we exploit the unexpected disruptions in international trade due to the Covid-19 pandemic in a panel of Austrian banks for the period from 2017 to 2021. Our analysis provides relevant insights into how trade exposures affect internationally active banks' cross border activities.

Distributional effects of macroprudential policies in Europe
Duration: 01.07.2021 bis 30.06.2024

The sustainability of economic unions like the European Union (EU) or currency unions like the euro area depend amongst others on similar economic growth paths, non-excessive debt levels or dispersions in income distributions across countries. Financial crises pose a threat in that respect, as they tend to result in deep and prolonged recessions. The re-regulation of the financial system over the last decade intends to decrease systemic vulnerability and thus negative effects of financial crises on the real sector and individuals. To reach the objective of a more stable financial system, a key element is the introduction of macroprudential policies. An increasing range of studies looks at the first order effects of macroprudential regulation on banking system stability or lending sensitivities finding that credit and house price growth declines given tighter regulation (e.g., Aiyar et al. 2014, Akinci and Olmstead-Rumsey 2018, Cerutti et al. 2017, Danisewicz et al. 2017). However, less evidence exists on indirect spillovers to individuals via distributional effects. In this paper, we aim to fill this gap and ask whether the introduction of macroprudential policies targeting financial system stability affect individuals’ income situation heterogeneously along the income distribution, which might have implications for income inequality in Europe. The analysis is based on EU-SILC microdata and covers households and individuals across countries being part of the European Union for the period from 2010 to 2018.
