When and why did FSLIC resolve insolvent thrifts?

Article Abstract:

An optimal resolution triage strategy for a deposit-insurance regulator was developed. The objective was to study in particular the relative roles of value maximization and constraint pressures in regulators' decisions to grant capital forbearance. Results demonstrate that regulators seldom conformed to the benchmark resolution-timing strategy than an unconflicted agent would follow under only a budget constraint. Findings support the hypothesis that insolvency resolution timing was distorted by political, personal, informational and legal constraints faced by regulators.

Savings and loan ownership structure and expense-preference: reply

Article Abstract:

The criticisms made by Krinsky and Thomas against the methodology used in deriving conclusions about savings and loans associations (S&L) are not valid and thus fail to rob the study of its relevance. The study's use of total assets as a control regression variable is defended. Likewise, the use of the least squares method appropriately weighted as a legitimate representation for heteroskedasticity is maintained.
