We provide evidence for an NPLR-reducing effect\r\nduring the boom phase of securitizations in Europe suggesting that banks in our\r\nsample may (partly) securitize NPLs as the most risky junior tranche and do not\r\n(fully) retain NPLs as a reputation and quality signal towards less informed investors\r\nin imperfect capital markets. In contrast, we fi\fnd the reverse effect during the\r\ncrises period in Europe indicating that issuing banks provided credit enhancement\r\nand demonstrated `skin in the game'. Our baseline result remains robust when\r\ncontrolling for endogeneity concerns and a potential persistence in the time series\r\nof the NPL data. Moreover, results from a variety of sensitivity analysis reveal\r\nthat the NPLR-reducing effect is stronger for opaque securitization transactions,\r\nfor issuing banks exhibiting higher average levels of NPLRs and for banks operating\r\nfrom non-PIIGS countries. In addition, a reduction of NPLRs through securitization\r\nis observed for issued collateralized debt obligations, residential mortgage-backed\r\nsecurities, consumer and other unspeci\fed loans as well as for non-frequently issuing,\r\nsystemically less important and worse-rated banks. Our analysis offers essential\r\ninsights into the loan risk allocation process through securitization and provides\r\nimportant implications for the vital debate on reducing NPL exposures and the\r\nprocess of revitalizing and regulating the European securitization market.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"bibtex":"@book{Uhde_Wengerek, title={The relationship between credit risk transfer and non-performing loans.
