Coexistence of Banks and Non-Banks: Intermediation Functions and Strategies
A comprehensive analysis of financial intermediation functions detailing bank/non-bank strategies, securitization, and credit incentive management models.
What it examines
The study adopts a function‐based approach using Merton’s framework and a common game tree model to analyze financial intermediation. It examines how banks and non-bank institutions strategically manage resource transfer, safety, and agency issues, linking theoretical models with real-world financial entity behaviors.
What it concludes
The research shows that varied intermediation strategies explain how banks and non-banks compete and cooperate. Its findings can guide policy on regulation and financial stability, inform crisis prevention, and suggest future research on adapting risk management practices in rapidly evolving financial environments.
Evidence objects
The report reveals that both traditional banks and non-bank financial intermediaries utilize a common game tree framework, yet adopt divergent strategies driven by innovation, regulation, liquidity, and interest rate regimes.

Surprisingly, the research highlights that shifts in interest rate regimes, government insurance, and technology shape competitive dynamics, while model-based simulations and complex derivations offer a comprehensive challenging theoretical foundation remarkably.

This paper introduces a function-based classification strategy for intermediation in Credit and Debt Markets. It innovatively maps equilibrium strategies to real-world entities, integrating established models like $Merton, 1995$. The perspective distinguishes traditional banks from non-bank entities, offering insights that advance the understanding and analysis of financial intermediation and is significant.
