Abstract

We investigate the mediating function of competition on the association between deposit insurance and the risk-taking of banks during an economic meltdown. In our analysis, we address issues of deposit insurance, competition, bank risk-taking, and bank crisis with explicit deposit insurance and full coverage dummies. Deposit insurance reduces bank risk in the absence of competition by reducing both credit and insolvency risk; however, it exacerbates bank risk and weakens banking stability in a highly competitive market. It also shows that the banking instability in a competitive market is attenuated by deposit insurance during financial crisis. This study offers policy implications.
