Abstract

This paper analyzes whether the effect of macroprudential policies on bank risk is channeled through investors' protection using panel data from a sample of 624 banks from 40 countries. We show that investors' protection plays a significant role in the effect of macroprudential policies on bank risk, which translates into higher efficiency for macroprudential policies in countries with highly protected creditors, whereas there is a loss of effectiveness in countries where shareholders are highly protected. We provide further evidence that the impact of loosening a macroprudential policy is asymmetric (and more pronounced) compared with the adoption or tightening of a macroprudential policy.
