Abstract
ABSTRACT We empirically investigate the effects of government debt on banks’ risk-taking by using a dataset covering 10,122 banks located in 65 countries between 2009 and 2019. We find that a greater supply of government debt can increase risk-taking of banks. This positive relation is stronger for domestic government debt, or for banks with higher level of capitalization and loans to deposits.
