Examining the financial and product-market frictions that constrain European firms’ to scale, from @beckerbobo, Efraim Benmelech, and Joao Monteiro nber.org/papers/w35577
AND IT IS OUT!
We have had enough reports saying Europe is stagnating. Change is not possible if we do not change the way the EU works. With Bengt Holmstrom and @competitionprof , I argue the EU should focus on prosperity and stop regulating everything.

Alla löntagare är inte väl förberedda att göra viktiga placeringsval. Det är svårt att välja strategier och ännu svårare att bedöma kvaliteten på olika förvaltare, skriver @beckerboboaffarsvarlden.se/artikel/bo-…

I’m working with my CA colleagues to address the Silicon Valley Bank crisis. We must make sure all deposits exceeding the FDIC $250k limit are honored. Banking is about confidence. If depositors lose confidence on the safety of their deposits over 250k then we are in trouble.

The insurance industry is huge in terms of assets, and critical to a healthy economy. Research in finance has paid much more attention to this area recently. The Review of Financial Studies special issue on this has just come out, edited by @rkoijen and @motoyogo. (1/5)
We document that lower capital requirements (for some structured securities) pushed insurance portfolios around substantially. Capital requirements matter, quite a bit. (4/5)
On balance, the reform always struck me as questionable. Removing reliance on credit ratings - sure. But reducing capital requirements to ~0? Seemed off. Perhaps it was, in part, a mistake. Regulation is hard. (5/5)
