Abstract

About 150 systemic banking crises have been documented globally throughout the period 1980–2009, where the latest are emanating from extensive sub-prime loans in the United States. As a contrast, no such crises were registered for the preceding 25 years. Reflecting on this historical process, academic interest in banking crises was almost nonexistent in mainstream economics during the post-war era. After 1990, however, this growth in the number of banking crises has spawned a substantial expansion of research into the causes and consequences of financial instability. The crisis related to sub-prime loans in the U.S. gives further interest into this type of study.
