Market financing of bail-out targets

Author

Listed:
  • Pérez Montes, Carlos

Abstract

A bank that needs a public bail-out to avoid liquidation can use financial contracts to provide contingent liquidation rights to investors and force the government to increase public support. Limiting the size of the bail-out before knowing the bank’s financial condition decreases welfare if the government is strongly pro-continuation.
