banking sector, contrary to the case for the securities industry.
3. Model
We assume that a bank i raises funds di from depositors and invests it to loans qi and
government bonds bi . Thus, the profit of the bank i at time t is:
πi,t=Pt(Qt)qi,t+rib,tbi,t-ri,dtdi,t-Ci,t(qi,t,di,t), (1)
n
where Pt(Qt) is the inverse demand function for loans, Qt ≡ ∑ qi,t , n is the
i=1
number of banks, rib,t is the yields for bonds, ri,dt is the deposit interest rate, and
Ci,t(qi,t, di,t) stands for the operating cost function. The bank’s problem is:
Max πi,t s.t. bi,t + qi,t = di,t . (2)
{bi,t ,qi,t , di,t }
The first order conditions of the profit maximization are:
1 ∂C
Pt (1 — θi,t ) = rt + , (3)
