Savings and loan ownership structure and expense-preference

Article Abstract:

Authors Akella and Greenbaum conclusions on the difference in priorities between managers of mutual savings and loans associations (S&L) and those of stockholder-owned S&Ls are not totally valid. For one, their use of an endogenous factor in deriving their conclusion about the expense-oriented attitude of managers in mutual S&Ls makes such a conclusion invalid. Less problematic is their conclusion about the tendency of mutual S&Ls to invest their assets in loans and to incur most of their liabilities from deposits in a degree higher than that of stockholder-owned S&Ls.

Measuring the true profile of taxpayer losses in the S&L insurance mess

Article Abstract:

It is proven that the application of conservative methods of projecting and discounting cash flows to information gathered in the Federal Home Loan Bank's system would have revealed the savings & loan deposit-insurance losses before taxpayers knew about it. An opportunity-cost method is developed for deriving measurements of thrift net worth and for applying these figures to compute the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp.'s annual income.
