Abstract

We find evidence of "pure" contagion effects in international banking arising from the collapse of BCCI. A Markov regime-switching approach is employed to allow for the uncertainty surrounding the date of BCCI's collapse. The results indicate that there are shortcomings in the supervision of internationally spread banking groups like BCCI, and carry implications for the EU single market programme in financial services.
