... while the level of inter-bank correlation c affects the cost of borrowing in the joint survival state, it does not affect the cost of borrowing in the individual survivalstate. Thus, in this case ... Wediscuss two of these models, Scharfstein and Stein (1990) and Rajan (1994), in some detail in Section 9. Scharfstein and Stein’s sequential model of herding is quiet about the variation in herding behavior ... arises in other herding models. In the context of our model, banks fully internalize the costs of information contagion and minimize these costs by herding. Systemic risk arising from suchherding...
