Bank Regulatory Capital and Liquidity: Evidence from U.S. and European Publicly Traded Banks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the relationship between bank regulatory capital and bank liquidity measured from on-balance sheet positions for European and U.S. publicly traded commercial banks and find that banks decrease their regulatory capital ratios when they face higher illiquidity or when they create more liquidity as measured by Berger and Bouwman (2009).
