Abstract
- The article discusses a capital regime for banks proposed by researchers Oliver Hart and Luigi Zingales. Their method specifies that banks' capital structures would be a function of the price of credit-default swaps on their debt, with banks forced to increase equity as losses rise. Failure to act would bring intervention by regulators.
