This document discusses bank failures during the Depression era in the United States. It argues that the standard explanation of "contagion", where one bank failure leads to runs on other banks, is incomplete. The banking industry experienced rapid growth in the late 19th/early 20th century due to lower capital requirements, which led to overbuilding of small banks. Failures in the 1920s were driven by agricultural shocks and increased competition from branch banking, not contagion. The pattern of failure resembles "shakeouts" seen in other industries, suggesting underlying forces beyond contagion were also at work in banking.

There are many market crises that happened over the last 150 years, three of the major ones are discussed in the presentation which are:
1929 Wall Street Crash
2000 Dot-Com Bubble
2008 Global Financial Crisis
This study presentation looks at the causes and consequences of different types of financial crisis. It also focuses on the Hyman Minsky theory of financial instability in a capitalist economic system.
Western governments are hopelessly addicted to deficit financing while refusing to address looming funding issues - with apologies to the embarrassingly foolish Angela Merkel, politicians can no more successfully “battle” the markets than you and I can successfully “battle” gravity. Petrocapita is an investment trust built around the premise that demand for energy will continue to move prices higher over the long-term. Petrocapita was created to allow investors to add professionally managed oil & gas assets directly to their portfolios.
This is a recording of a revision webinar exploring some of the causes of financial crises in developed and emerging market countries. There are many different types of crises ranging from currency/external debt crises to disturbances in banking systems.

An Analysis Of The Financial Crises Of The Past Centuryiosrjce
IOSR Journal of Economics and Finance (IOSR-JEF) discourages theoretical articles that are limited to axiomatics or that discuss minor variations of familiar models. Similarly, IOSR-JEF has little interest in empirical papers that do not explain the model's theoretical foundations or that exhausts themselves in applying a new or established technique (such as cointegration) to another data set without providing very good reasons why this research is important.
Rising interest rates have promoted Central Banks around the country to increase the interest rates. This article examines impact of interest rate reversal on VC/PE Investments in the Fintech companies. Key areas of impact would include profitability, valuation, customer demand and availability of alternative investments. The optimism/over zealousness displayed by the investor community is expected to temper down. They can be expected to take a very cautious approach. This may not impact fintech players with proven track record; but the ones with unproven capabilities/business models can be ones who would get most impacted.
After World War II ended in 1945, Japan made a new start toward economic reconstruction as a democratic and pacifist state. Thanks to its highly educated and abundant labor force and to the concentration of capital and resources in certain key industries, such as electric power and steel, Japan succeeded in recovering from the ruins of war and achieving industrialization during the 1950s and 1960s.
This briefing note explores ongoing macro-level changes at the World Bank. It focuses on four major trends: (1) changes in lending, including amount of lending, type of lending, and recipient countries; (2) changes in income sources; (3) the growth of trust funds; and (4) trends in staffing. The findings presented here are intended to help shape future engagements with the Bank by placing its operations in a broader context. Major findings: (1) Total World Bank lending has declined in real terms in recent years, driven by a significant decline in International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) lending. IBRD commitments averaged more than $25 billion per year during the 1980s and 1990s, but commitments have since declined and are expected to average around $15 billion per year in the near term. This decline is the result of a number of factors, including insufficiently large capital infusions and reduced borrower demand stemming from low global interest rates and the growing availability of alternative funding sources. Declining Bank lending coincides with declining profitability. President Kim has recently announced plans to nearly double IBRD lending over the next several years, but it is not clear how this will be achieved. (2) International Development Association (IDA) lending has continued to increase in real terms, but IDA funding is increasingly dependent on donor contributions. Declining IBRD income limits the size of the subsidy IBRD can provide to IDA and increases the importance of individual IDA donors. (3) World Bank Group funding to support the private sector has increased dramatically, both in absolute terms and relative to overall spending. In 2013, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) accounted for 35% of World Bank Group commitments, compared with 18% in 2009 and only 13% in 2000. IFC support for financial intermediaries has also increased rapidly over the last several years. Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) commitments have doubled in the past five years, albeit from a low base. (4) The Bank has always faced a pressure to lend, stemming from structural factors (administrative costs are covered by profits from loans), institutional factors (the real or perceived importance of ‘moving money’ for staff promotions), and external factors (demands from donors and shareholders). But while lending has declined, the pressure to expedite disbursements remains stronger than ever. This is because of the increasing pressure from both clients and donors to be more efficient and because of the increasing availability of alternative funding sources for national governments. While these changes have the potential to make the Bank more responsive and effective, they also pose a potential risk to policies, like the suite of safeguards, which could be perceived as impediments to speedy disbursement.

2. 1921–1933 BANKING FAILURES
3. CONTAGION IS AN INCOMPLETE EXPLANATION OF
FAILURES
4. SHAKEOUTS IN OTHER INDUSTRIES
5. EXPLANATION OF THE BANKING SHAKEOUT
6. SUMMARY
3. 1.Growth in the number of banks
• The number of U.S. banks grew rapidly from 1887 until
1921. Much of the increase coincided with improving
economic conditions. Yet, commentators also claim that a
good portion of the increase resulted from a statutory
change that lowered the minimum capital required to form a
new bank as well as careless application of entry standards
by regulators.
• The increase in the number of banks was rapid enough, and
the size of new banks small enough, to drive down the U.S.
average bank size fairly significantly. The average size bank
shrank from $1.04 million in 1886 to a low of $660,000 in
1896.
4.
5. • The growth in
number of banks
was much faster
than the pace of
economic growth,
so that the
increase in the
number of banks
is still quite
apparent even
when the number
of banks is
deflated by the
level of real GDP
6. • The growth in the number of banks was indeed rapid from
1900 until 1921. An important explanation for the growth in
the number of banks during these two decades was the
reduction in the minimum capital required to form a bank.
Specifically, the Currency Act of 1900 lowered from $50,000
to $25,000 the minimum capital needed from investors to
start a national bank. In turn, over the next ten years, two-
thirds of newly formed banks were quite small, averaging
capital of only slightly more than the minimum $25,000.
• “insufficient attention was paid to the qualifications of those
to whom charters were granted”
7. • An important trend associated with rapid entry was gradually
declining banking profitability. Contemporary writers blamed
declining returns on increased competition from new banks.
• Net profits relative to assets for the industry fell fairly
consistently from 1900 through1920, from about 2.55
percent, to about 1.70 percent.
• the number of banks increased much more rapidly than did
U.S. population. The expansion in the number of
competitors may also have been driving down bank
profitability and loan standards beginning as early as 1900.
This declining profitability implies that even without the
agricultural shocks of the 1920s, and the macroeconomic
shocks of the Depression, the banking industry would have
experienced some retrenchment.
8.
9. 2. 1921–1933 BANKING FAILURES
• The number of U.S. banks peaked in 1921 at about 31,000
banks. The year also produced the beginning of a period of
rapid annual rates of bank failure. In 1921 there were 505
failures. During most of the next eight years failures
remained between 500 and 1,000 per year. From1930
through 1933 failure rates were in the thousands.
• The shift in banking failures in 1921 was precipitated by
widespread crop failures of that year. Farm problems were
evident in falling farm real estate values in corn- and cotton-
producing regions.
10.
11. In the early 1920s the Comptroller of the Currency, the agency
that regulates national banks, dropped its branching
prohibitions.
branches grew from 1,400 to 3,500 between 1921 and
1930.These new branches would have brought fresh
competition to banking markets, and since branch banks
probably had advantages in diversity and scale over small
unit banks, unit banks would have been imperiled.
Therefore, this liberalization of branching restrictions acted
as a shock to small bank profitability occurring in the 1920s.
• Some contemporary commentators claim that improving
transportation technology accounts for the decline of small
banks, which were once protected from competition by the
costs their customers faced to travel to other towns and
cities to conduct banking business.
12. 3. CONTAGION IS AN INCOMPLETE
EXPLANATION
OF FAILURES
• Contagion is an incomplete explanation of banking failures
for two reasons.
• First, contagion was not a factor in the failures that occurred
in the 1920s. The bank failures of the 1920s were not
caused by and did not create banking panics, that is,
banking runs or heavy withdrawals of currency. There was
no increase in currency in circulation during the period
(Wicker 1996, 1). If factors other than contagion were
important in the 1920s, it seems likely that these same
factors would also be at work in the 1930s as well.
Therefore, contagion is unlikely to account for at least some
of the failures in the Depression years of the 1930s.a
13. • Second, failures during the 1930
crisis, which occurred in November
and December of that year, were no
different from those occurring in the
1920s. This failures were the result of
bad loans.
• That was the reason of creation
FDIC.
14. 4. SHAKEOUTS IN OTHER
INDUSTRIES
• Rapid increase in the number of producers followed by an
equally rapid decline is a pattern not only evident in banking,
but also in a number of industries.
Examples include automobiles, tires, televisions, penicillin, and
most recently, telecommunications. While the banking
industry failures are blamed on heavy reliance on liabilities
that are redeemable upon demand, other factors must have
been at work to produce rapid failures in these other
industries since they are not reliant upon demand liabilities.
Perhaps many of the failures in banking were simply the
result of a typical shakeout, driven by factors other than
contagion, as in these other industries.
15.
16. 5. EXPLANATION OF THE BANKING
SHAKEOUT
• Evolving telecommunications and transportation technology
as well as shifting financial arrangements were influencing
both the technology of banking and of the firms to which
banks make loans. In this environment, existing banks and
potential investors in new banks faced a great deal of
uncertainty about the proper scale of the industry, and entry
was rapid, relative to GDP growth and population growth.
Average profits were driven down in the banking industry,
and after 1921, while larger banks remained strong, small
bank profits fell significantly. Clearly the demand shocks of
the 1920s and the Depression played a major role in the
shakeout in banks, but overbuilding appears to have been of
significant importance. the banking industry was undergoing
rapid change. One such theoretical explanation argues that
shakeouts are a result of investments in research and
development (R&D).
17. Summery
• As the U.S. economy grew and evolved in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries, the banking industry grew even more
rapidly, especially in raw numbers of banks, as well as in
assets relative to GDP and numbers relative to population.
• A long-held explanation for bank failures during the
Depression is contagion, whereby the initial failure of one
bank leads to widespread runs on other banks and their
failure.
• FDIC formation.
