Abstract

Este artículo se divide en dos partes. Primero, presenta el escenario institucional (los esquemas de seguros de depósitos) del sistema de la banca comercial en México. Segundo, muestra, usando un modelo probit que bajo FOBAPROA había un problema de riesgo moral. Uno de los hallazgos es que en un régimen privado FOBAPROA impulsa a los bancos a tener menos capital relativo a activos que cuando estaban bajo control gubernamental. También encuentro que FOBAPROA influye en la tazón préstamos a activos. Sin embargo, no encuentro evidencia, de que FOBAPROA anime a los bancos a tener :una razón baja en excedentes a préstamos o en reservas a depósitos. Debido al riesgo moral asociado con el seguro de depósitos, los bancos en problemas, que tienen una razón pequeña de excedentes a préstamos, tienen un incentivo a tomar posiciones especulativas.
