Political connections, bank deposits, and formal deposit insurance

Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of banks' political connections on their ability to collect deposits under two different deposit insurance regimes (blanket guarantee and limited guarantee). We estimate a simultaneous equations model of supply and demand for funds using quarterly data for Indonesian banks from 2002 to 2008. We find that, regardless of their type (state-owned or private entities), politically connected banks are able to attract deposits more easily than their non-connected counterparts. We al… Show more

“…Most of them are empirical papers investigating the impact of being politically connected firms, although there are also few papers provide theoretical explanation on the existing (antecedents) and the outcomes of political relatedness for firms. Nys et al (2015) and Sutopo et al (2017) provide literature review on the benefits (access to source of financing, higher firm performance, government privilege) and disadvantages (inefficiency, unqualified board member) of political relations for firms.…”

“…Вклады населения играют ключевую роль в формировании ресурсной базы коммерческих банков. От эффективности деятельности кредитных организаций по привлечению денежных средств во вклады зависят их финансовая устойчивость и ликвидность, а также полнота трансформации сбережений в инвестиции [1,2]. В этих условиях банковские инновации по привлечению вкладов населения приобретают особое значение как для самих банков, так и для их клиентов [3; 4; 5; 6; 7].…”

“…In "Political connections, bank deposits, and formal deposit insurance," Nys et al (2015) consider the Indonesian banking industry, particularly the relationship between Indonesian banks' political connections and the ability to attract deposits.
