Sophisticated Discipline in Nascent Deposit Markets: Evidence from Post-Communist RussiaAlexei KarasUniversity College Roosevelt/Utrecht University; Centre for Russian International Socio-Political and Economic Studies (CERISE) William PyleMiddlebury College - Department of Economics Koen J. L. SchoorsGhent University - Centre for Russian International Socio-Political and Economic Studies (CERISE); Ghent University - Department of General Economics June 2006 William Davidson Institute Working Paper No. 829 Abstract: Using a database from post-communist, pre-deposit-insurance Russia, we demonstrate the presence of quantity-based sanctioning of weaker banks by both firms and households, particularly after the financial crisis of 1998. Evidence for the standard form of price discipline, however, is notably weak. Estimating the deposit supply function, we show that, particularly for poorly capitalized banks, interest rate increases exhibit diminishing, and eventually negative, returns in terms of deposit attraction, a finding consistent with depositors interpreting the deposit rate itself as a signal of otherwise unobserved bank-level risk.
