At the same time, in dealing with the financial crisis there have been large scale interventions by governments, often referred to as bailouts of the lenders. This paper presents a framework where rational economic agents engage in ex ante excessive lending, borrowing, and risk-taking if creditors assign a positive probability to being bailed out. The paper also offers some thoughts on policy implications. It argues that it would be most productive for the long run if lending institutions were not bailed out. If the continuing existence of an institution was deemed essential, assistance should take the form of capital injections that dilute the equity of existing owners.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/233Financial crisesEconometric modelsEconomic policyMathematical modelsFinancial riskCapital marketGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009Banks and BankingimfFinancial Risk ManagementimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfFinancial CrisesimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfFinancing PolicyimfFinancial Risk and Risk ManagementimfCapital and Ownership StructureimfValue of FirmsimfGoodwillimfFinanceimfEconomic & financial crises & disastersimfMonetary economicsimfFinancial services law & regulationimfFinancial crisesimfCreditimfLoansimfProject loansimfCredit riskimfFinancial risk managementimfFinancial crisesEconometric models.Economic policyMathematical models.Financial risk.Capital market.Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009.Banks and BankingFinancial Risk ManagementMoney and Monetary PolicyIndustries: Financial ServicesBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesFinancial CrisesMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralFinancing PolicyFinancial Risk and Risk ManagementCapital and Ownership StructureValue of FirmsGoodwillFinanceEconomic & financial crises & disastersMonetary economicsFinancial services law & regulationFinancial crisesCreditLoansProject loansCredit riskFinancial risk managementGeorgiou Andréas1509581International Monetary Fund.Statistics Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910788224303321Excessive Lending, Leverage, and Risk-Taking in the Presence of Bailout Expectations3741547UNINA
