Deterring default: why some state laws decrease the probability of mortgage foreclosures
Ghent, Andra C.; Slivinski, Stephen; Kudlyak, Marianna (2009-09)

Hetzel, Robert L.; Slivinski, Stephen (2009-11)

Prescott, Edward Simpson; Slivinski, Stephen (2009-05)
Bank examinations, like the recent "stress test," yield information of interest to the market. Releasing those results may increase transparency. For routine annual bank exams, however, doing so could impede a supervisor's ability to collect information.
