TY - UNPD A1 - Fecht, Falko A1 - Tyrell, Marcel T1 - Optimal lender of last resort policy in different financial systems T2 - Deutsche Bundesbank: [Discussion paper / 1] Discussion paper : Ser. 1, Economic studies ; No. 2004,39 N2 - In a framework closely related to Diamond and Rajan (2001) we characterize different financial systems and analyze the welfare implications of different LOLR-policies in these financial systems. We show that in a bank-dominated financial system it is less likely that a LOLR-policy that follows the Bagehot rules is preferable. In financial systems with rather illiquid assets a discretionary individual liquidity assistance might be welfare improving, while in market-based financial systems, with rather liquid assets in the banks' balance sheets, emergency liquidity assistance provided freely to the market at a penalty rate is likely to be efficient. Thus, a "one size fits all"-approach that does not take the differences of financial systems into account is misguiding.
