Banks, Maturity Transformation, and Monetary Policy

Abstract: Banks engage in maturity transformation and the term premium compensates them for bearing the associated duration risk. Consistent with this view, I show that banks' net interest margins and term premia have comoved in the United States over the last decades. On monetary policy announcement days, banks' stock prices fall in response to an increase in expected future short-term interest rates but rise if term premia increase. These effects are reflected in the response of banks' net interest margins and amplifi… Show more

“…Earlier literature based on reduced-form estimations, reviewed by Rudebusch et al (2006), showed that lower (higher) term premium was associated with slower (higher) future growth, consistent with the "banking view" evidence of Paul (2020). In turn, Rudebusch et al (2006) present evidence that declines in term premium are associated with higher future GDP growth, in line with what they label "the Bernanke/practitioner view," in which lower term premium is related to stimulus to the economy by making financial market conditions more accommodative for some classes of borrowers.…”

“…In a recent paper, Paul (2020) shows that banks' net interest margins move in a strongly correlated fashion with measures of term premia. Decomposing yields in expected short-term rates and term premia, there is evidence that banks' stock returns and net interest margins are impacted positively by higher term premia, and negatively by expectations of higher short-term rates in the future.…”

“…We show that our findings are unaffected if we account for such alternative channels by directly controlling for deposit flows and cash flow effects. The sensitivity of credit supply along those various margins may in turn help banks achieve more stable net interest margins (Drechsler, Savov and Schnabl, 2021;Paul, 2022Paul, , 2023. Abbassi et al (2016), Peydró, Polo and Sette (2021), Carpinelli and Crosignani (2021), Peydró et al (2023), andAbbassi et al (2023) also use security-and loan-level data in combination.…”
