This paper studies the impact of bank regulation and taxation in a dynamic model
where banks are exposed to credit and liquidity risk and can resolve financial distress in
three costly forms: bond issuance, equity issuance or fire sales. We find an inverted U–
shaped relationship between capital requirements and bank lending, efficiency, and welfare,
with their benefits turning into costs beyond a certain threshold. By contrast, liquidity
requirements reduce lending, efficiency and welfare significantly. On taxation, corporate
income taxes generate higher government revenues and entail lower efficiency and welfare
costs than taxes on non-deposit liabilities.
