Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of macroprudential policies on banking systemic risk for 172 European banks across 20 EU countries from 2000 to 2017. Using a dynamic panel framework, it assesses the effectiveness of policy on two dimensions of systemic risk: banks' contribution to aggregate systemic risk (ΔCoVaR) and their vulnerability in stressed markets (Exposure-ΔCoVaR). Results show policy actions reduce bank systemic risk, especially in terms of Exposure-ΔCoVaR. However, this effect varies between tightening and loosening measures. Interestingly, the analysis indicates that policies don't significantly affect banks' contribution to systemic risk as measured by ΔCoVaR. Borrower-based policies and exposure limits in particular enhance bank resilience. This study has important implications for policymakers regarding the calibration and evaluation of macroprudential measures.
