Financial development in the aftermath of banking crises
用倾向得分加权方法,基于174国1980-2019年数据,发现系统性银行业危机对金融发展有持续负面影响。
This paper examines the dynamic impact of systemic banking crises on financial development. Causal effects are identified using a propensity-score-based method for time series and panel data. Specifically, to address the non-random nature of banking crisis onsets, we apply inverse propensity score weighting to create a quasi-random distribution of crisis and non-crisis episodes. The appropriate weights are derived from a banking crisis prediction model that accounts for financial development in the run-up to crises. Using data on banking crises and a comprehensive set of financial development indicators for 174 countries from 1980 to 2019, we present novel evidence demonstrating that banking crisis shocks have a persistent negative effect on financial development. This finding holds across multiple dimensions of financial development.
