"Too Big To Fail" and Its Implications on Bank Funding Costs
October 8, 2013
NYU Stern School of Business
Purpose
The Dodd-Frank Act addresses TBTF in multiple ways. Currently, the issue of funding cost differentials between large and small banks has been partially attributed to TBTF benefits. In this conference, leading experts will discuss the current approaches to estimating such perceived benefits, the limitations of the approaches, and directions for future research. Finally, the conference will consider the impact of regulatory reforms on these perceptions and how measurement of cost differentials will be affected using more recent, post-crisis data.
