Economics Research Seminar SeriesOn a Pecuniary Externality of Competitive Banking through Goods Pricing Dispersion - Timothy Kam (Australian National University)
Wednesday, November 6 | 1PM - 2:15PM | S825
We show that even with idealized competitive banks, banking amplifies retail-goods firms' ability to extract higher markups from ex-post heterogeneous buyers. This works through a new pecuniary-externality channel that is tightly connected to an equilibrium distribution of goods-price markups. Our model also justifies why policymakers should be worried about inflation, banking and its connection to rising industry markups.
