Unpacking bank runs: insights from historical data and economic impact (Karsten Müller)

Karsten Müller, Assistant Professor of Finance at the National University of Singapore, presents a deep dive into the phenomenon of bank runs, highlighting their resurgence in light of recent events such as the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the demise of Credit Suisse. Drawing from his collaborative research, Müller discusses the creation of new datasets that trace bank runs across countries from 1800 onwards. He explores the systemic implications of bank runs, their macroeconomic impact, and the critical role of solvency issues in exacerbating financial crises, offering valuable insights for policymakers and scholars alike.
