چکیده
هدف مطالعه حاضر، بررسی اثر بحران های بانکی بر توزیع درآمد طبقات مختلف درآمدی طی دوره زمانی 2020-1990 برای 60 کشور منتخب جهان است. بدین منظور، 6 مدل با متغیرهای وابسته مختلف که صدک های درآمدی مربوط به طبقات ثروتمند، متوسط و فقیر را نشان می دادند، با استفاده از مدل سازی پانل GMM تخمین زده شد. نتایج نشان داد که با وقوع بحران بانکی سهم درآمد طبقات ثروتمند کاهش و سهم درآمد طبقه متوسط و 20 درصد پایین افزایش یافته است. بنابراین وقوع بحران بانکی منجر به برابری درآمد در کشورهای مورد مطالعه شده است. علاوه بر متغیر بحران بانکی، متغیرهای توسعه مالی و باز بودن مالی منجر به نابرابری درآمدی و متغیرهای مخارج عمومی به GDP، باز بودن تجاری، تولید ناخالص داخلی و مجذور آن، باعث برابری توزیع درآمد در این کشورها شده است. با توجه به نتایج تحقیق، توصیه می شود برای مدیریت اثرات سوء بحران بانکی و کاهش نابرابری درآمد، دولت ها از طریق ارائه یارانه و بسته های حمایتی، تسهیل اشتغال و اعطای وام کم بهره از صدک های پایین درآمدی حمایت کنند. همچنین از صدک های بالای درآمدی نیز مالیاتی هایی نظیر مالیات بر عایدی سرمایه اخذ کنند.The Impact of Banking Crisis on the Income Distribution of Different Income Classes
The present study aimed to explore the impact of banking crisis on income distribution among various income classes in 60 world countries during 1990–2020. In this line, the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) was used to estimate the six models with different dependent variables that depicted income percentiles for the wealthy, middle, and poor classes. The findings indicated that during a banking crisis, the income share of the wealthy class decreases, while the middle class and the bottom 20% experience an increase in their income share. Consequently, banking crisis could contribute to income equality in the countries under study. In addition to the variable of banking crisis, other variables such as financial development and financial openness could lead to income inequality, while the variables like the ratio of public expenditure to GDP, trade openness, GDP, and GDP squared would cause income distribution equality in the countries. The results suggest that governments support lower-income percentiles through subsidies, support packages, more job opportunities, and provision of low-interest loans, in a bid to mitigate the detrimental effects of banking crisis and reduce income inequality. Furthermore, governments should levy taxes, such as capital gains tax, on higher-income percentiles.IntroductionThe literature offers various definitions for banking crisis. For instance, Liana et al. (2015) define banking crisis as the occurrence of simultaneous bankruptcies within the banking sector, resulting in substantial damage to the capital of the entire banking system, significant economic repercussions, and government intervention. According to Laeven and Valencia (2020), banking crisis occurs when two conditions are met: 1) “significant signs of financial distress within the banking system (indicated by significant bank runs, losses in the banking sector, and/or bank liquidations)” and 2) “significant intervention measures in banking policy in response to significant losses in the banking system.” The year in which both criteria are met is the year when crisis becomes systemic. Banking crisis exerts a myriad of effects, with one notable consequence being the issue of income inequality. There are two points of debate in this respect: the impact of banking crisis on income inequality and the reciprocal influence of income inequality on banking crisis. This research focused on the former. There are various channels through which banking crisis can adversely impact households and their income, including:(a) Loss of deposits in a failed banking institution(b) Loss of employment or earnings directly due to (i) disruption of the payments process, (ii) the bankruptcy of financial institutions (for employees and other stakeholders of these institutions) or (iii) the interruption of credit flows (for borrowing clients with information capital invested in the failed financial institutions)(c) Tax increases or curtailment of public spending due to fiscal cost of bail-outs of financial firms or their customers(d) Temporary or permanent changes in relative prices of (i) consumption goods, (ii) wage rates, (iii) production goods (iv) asset prices, that arise through knock-on effects on the rest of the economy(e) Involuntary unemployment if the crisis leads to a generalized economic downturn. (Honohan, 2005, pp. 6–7)In this context, the present study tried to answer the following questions: How does a banking crisis influence the income distribution of households and contribute to income inequality? Is the presumed impact the same across different income classes (i.e., wealthy, middle, and poor)?Materials and MethodsIn line with El Herradi and Leroy (2022), the present study used the following economic model:(1) In the model, refers to the income share of six different percentiles (p) including Top1%, Top10%, Top20%, Middle-class (21–79 percentile), Bottom20% and Bottom10% in the country i at the time t. is a dummy variable of the banking crisis (1 if a country i faces a banking crisis, otherwise 0). indicates the dependent variable of income distribution, with two lags to show the dynamics of the model. Finally, is a vector of lagged control variables, including GDP and GDP squared, financial development, trade openness, financial openness, the ratio of government public expenditures to GDP and political governance. Also, , and refer to country fixed effects, time fixed effects and an error term, respectively. , and k are model coefficients. The study sample comprised 60 countries worldwide, with annual data spanning the years 1990 to 2020.Results and DiscussionThe occurrence of a banking crisis is linked to significant yet varied effects across the income distribution. Consequently, during a banking crisis, the income shares of the top 1%, top 10%, top 20%, and bottom 10% experienced a decrease. Moreover, a banking crisis resulted in an increase in the income share of the middle-class population (21–79 percentiles) as well as the bottom 20% of individuals. Notably, the rise in the middle class was more substantial. Conversely, the lowest income group (the bottom 10%) exhibited a negative correlation between banking crisis and income share, mirroring the trend observed in the upper percentiles. However, the reduction in the income shares of the lowest income group (the bottom 10%) is considerably less than the losses suffered by higher income groups. According to the findings, the adverse impacts of banking crisis are more pronounced at the right end of income distribution. Therefore, the crisis could contribute to a reduction in income inequality.ConclusionThe findings indicated that a banking crisis adversely affects the income shares of the top 1%, top 10%, and top 20%. In simpler terms, a banking crisis diminishes the income share of these groups in the overall income of society. Notably, the reduction in the income shares of the top 10% (-0.426) is more pronounced compared to the top 1% and top 20% percentiles. Conversely, a banking crisis can increase the income share of the middle class (21–79 percentiles) and of the bottom 20% (i.e., the poor class), with a particularly substantial increase observed in the middle class. Turning to the lowest income group (the bottom 10%), a negative correlation exists between banking crisis and income share. Despite facing a decrease in income similar to the top income percentiles, the decline in their income share is considerably less than the losses experienced by the wealthy percentiles.In summary, a banking crisis could diminish the income share of the wealthy class and increase the income share of the middle and lower classes, contributing to a reduction in income inequality in the studied countries. Consequently, to mitigate the adverse effects of a banking crisis, governments can provide support to low-income percentiles through subsidies, support packages, more job opportunities, and low-interest loans. Additionally, taxes on high-income percentiles, such as capital gains tax, can be helpful. The measures can ultimately lead to a reduction in the income share of the wealthy percentiles and an increase in the share of the lower percentiles, improving income distribution and reducing income inequality.
