英文摘要:
When banks extend loans to each other, they generate a negative externality in the form of systemic risk. They create a network of interbank exposures by which they expose other banks to potential insolvency cascades. In this paper, we show how a regulator can use information about the financial network to devise a transaction-specific tax based on a network centrality measure that captures systemic importance. Since different transactions have different impact on creating systemic risk, they are taxed differently. We call this tax a Systemic Risk Tax (SRT). We use an equilibrium concept inspired by the matching markets literature to show analytically that this SRT induces a unique equilibrium matching of lenders and borrowers that is systemic-risk efficient, i.e. it minimizes systemic risk given a certain transaction volume. On the other hand, we show that without this SRT multiple equilibrium matchings exist, which are generally inefficient. This allows the regulator to effectively stimulate a `rewiring\' of the equilibrium interbank network so as to make it more resilient to insolvency cascades, without sacrificing transaction volume. Moreover, we show that a standard financial transaction tax (e.g. a Tobin-like tax) has no impact on reshaping the equilibrium financial network because it taxes all transactions indiscriminately. A Tobin-like tax is indeed shown to have a limited effect on reducing systemic risk while it decreases transaction volume.

中文摘要:
当银行相互发放贷款时,它们会以系统性风险的形式产生负外部性。它们创建了一个银行间风险敞口网络,使其他银行面临潜在的破产风险。在本文中,我们展示了监管机构如何利用有关金融网络的信息,基于网络中心性度量(捕捉系统重要性)设计特定于交易的税收。由于不同的交易对产生系统性风险的影响不同,因此对它们的征税也不同。我们称之为系统风险税(SRT)。我们使用一个受匹配市场文献启发的均衡概念来分析表明,这种SRT导致贷款人和借款人的独特均衡匹配,这是系统风险有效的,即在给定一定交易量的情况下,它将系统风险降至最低。另一方面,我们表明,如果没有这种SRT,存在多个均衡匹配,这通常是低效的。这使得监管者能够有效地刺激均衡银行间网络的“重组”,使其在不牺牲交易量的情况下,对破产级联具有更大的弹性。此外,我们还表明,标准金融交易税(如托宾税)对重塑均衡金融网络没有影响,因为它对所有交易都不加区别地征税。事实证明,类托宾税在减少交易量的同时,对降低系统性风险的作用有限。
