Exploiting the heterogeneity in legal constraints on local bank employees' mobility, I show that access to local information influences banks' modes of expansion. Banks entering a new market typically establish new branches directly when interbank labor mobility is less restrictive but acquire incumbent branches otherwise. The treatment effect is strengthened when information asymmetries between local and entrants are severe. Furthermore, I find a surge in the total amount of local small business and mortgage loans granted, a higher mortgage approval rate, and a reduction of mortgage rates by surrounding incumbent branches, precisely around the period of entrants establishing new branches, which indicate intensified competition among banks.

Some of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history have occurred in the past seven months, led by Lehman Brothers investment bank and Washington Mutual savings and loan. The Obama administration is now threatening General Motors and Chrysler with a government-managed bankruptcy if they don't come up with an aggressive restructuring plan in short order. While the two automakers' woes have captured the headlines, thousands of other firms — many in retail and real estate — are quietly trying to avoid bankruptcy court. Last year the number of bankruptcies rose more than 50 percent over the previous year — to more than 43,000. Some experts say the government needs to step in and lend money to bankrupt companies while other critics say Congress made emerging from bankruptcy almost impossible for some companies when it amended the Bankruptcy Code in 2005.

There are several statutory requirements imposed by the Credit Union Membership Access Act (CUMAA) for converting a federal credit union to a mutual savings bank. In addition, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions, has issued regulations requiring significant disclosures by a federal credit union attempting to convert its charter to a mutual savings bank. Some of these disclosures are considered by critics to be speculative in nature, such as whether the directors of the converted institution intend later to convert to a stock-issuing entity, thereby possibly enriching themselves. Others believe that this kind of information is at the heart of the conversion process and should be disclosed. H.R. 3206, 109th Congress, has been introduced to limit the kinds of disclosures required, in particular disclosures of a speculative nature. This report will be updated as needed.

The banking sector is fragile and the stockmarket illiquid and poorly regulated. The overall state of the banking sector remains unsatisfactory, although it is experiencing rapid growth. At end-2004 assets, loans and total deposits accounted for 43%, 19% and 24% of GDP, respectively, compared with shares of 35%, 13% and 18% at end-2001. Nonetheless, the sector still provides inadequate financial intermediation, and most of Russia's 1,260 banks simply perform treasury functions for their owners' other (usually industrial) interests. Although banks' share of investment finance is growing fairly rapidly, this remains low, at around 20%. The Russian Central Bank (RCB) is slowly strengthening its supervisory powers over the sector, and has set up a new independent authority to regulate financial markets. Major obstacles to reform nonetheless remain, most notably Sberbank, the Soviet-era state savings bank that dominates the sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
