Abstract subject:
We analyse how consumers respond to government interventions at banks. On the one hand, the default risk reducing hypothesis predicts that customers of bailed out banks are more inclined to stay at their bank than customers of other banks. On the other hand, there might be reasons why consumers do want to switch away from the intervened bank (e.g. lack of trust in the government). Our study complements previous studies on consumer responses to government interventions by employing a difference-in-difference analysis, separating between a nationalisation and capital injection and directly testing the channels.
