  text: "Employing a unique hand-collected sample of 956 credit risk securitization
    transactions issued by 64 stock-listed\r\nEuropean banks across the EU-13 plus
    Switzerland over the period from 1997 to 2010, this paper empirically analyzes\r\nthe
    impact of securitization on the issuing banks’ effective tax rates. Our analysis
    reveals that banks may reduce their\r\ntax expense through securitization via
    a direct and indirect channel suggesting that tax avoidance may be a further\r\nmotive
    for banks to engage in the securitization business. These baseline findings remain
    robust under various\r\nrobustness checks, especially when implementing structural
    equation models and controlling for a reverse causality\r\nbetween the banks’
    tax burden and their incentive to securitize. Finally, various sensitivity analyses
    provide further\r\nimportant results and implications for tax policies, banking
    regulation and the ongoing process of revitalizing the\r\nEuropean securitization
    market."

  text: Using a unique dataset of 592 cash and synthetic securitizations issued by
    54 banks from the EU-15 plus Switzerland over the period from 1997 to 2007 this
    paper provides empirical evidence that credit risk securitization has a positive
    impact on the increase of European banks’ systematic risk. Baseline results hold
    when comparing estimated beta coefficients with a control group of similar non-securitizing
    banks. Building several sub-samples we additionally find that (a) the increase
    in systematic risk is more relevant for larger banks that repeatedly engage in
    securitization, (b) securitization is more important for small and medium financial
    institutions, (c) banks have a higher incentive to retain the larger part of credit
    risk as a quality signal at the beginning of the securitization business in Europe,
    and (d) the overall risk-shifting effect due to securitization is more distinct
    when the pre-event systematic risk is low.
