Assessing the Robustness of the Relationship Between Financial Reforms and Banking Crises
Pablo Gluzmann (CEDLAS-FCE-UNLP and CONICET) Martin Guzman (Columbia University) - Working Paper #294
This paper provides a novel approach for assessing the robustness of the relationship between dierent types of nancial reforms and banking crises for the period 1973-2005. We document the following facts for emerging economies: (i) liberalizations of capital accounts, securities markets, interest rates, removal of credit controls, barriers to entry, and reduction of state ownership in the banking sector, all are positively associated with a higher frequency of banking crises; (ii) the increase in nancial turbulence is mainly concentrated within a time-window of ve years after the reforms: If a country does not experience a banking crisis within that period, the probability of experiencing a crisis afterwards becomes insignicant; and (iii) the results are robust to the inclusion of all control variables that have been found in the literature as signicant determinants of banking crises.
