Selected credit characteristics of single-family conventional loans, by acquisition period (% of total) Summary This book illustrates how the structure of the US banking market and the existence of federal institutions allowed regional financial shocks to be absorbed at the federal level in the US, thus avoiding local financial crisis. The authors argue that the experience of the US shows the importance of a 'banking union' to avoid severe regional (national) financial dislocation in the wake of regional boom and bust cycles. They also discuss the extent to which the institutions of the partial banking union, now in the process of being created for the euro area, should be able to increase its capacity to deal with future regional boom and bust cycles, thereby stabilising the single currency.-- Publisher description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 73-78) and index Notes Online resource; title from title page (Centre for European Policy Studies, viewed December 21, 2015) Subject European Banking Authority.
