About Dr. VanHoose's Research: 

In spite of considerable doubts among U.S. bankers, elected officials, and policymakers, U.S. bank regulators have expressed an intent to launch a complete phase-in of a much more burdensome system of bank capital regulation—“Basel II”—between  2008 and 2011.  The academic banking literature yields general agreement about the immediate effects of capital requirements on bank lending and loan rates and the longer-term impacts on bank ratios of equity to total or risk-adjusted assets.  Nevertheless, this literature, which primarily examines “representative banks,” produces highly mixed predictions regarding the effects of capital regulation on bank asset risk.  More recent research examining diverse banking systems has also yielded mixed conclusions.  Thus, the proposed Basel II system’s heavy reliance on capital regulation lacks firm intellectual underpinnings.
