Supranational Supervision - How Much and for Whom?

We argue that the extent to which supervision of banks takes place on the supranational level should be guided by two factors: cross-border externalities from bank failures and heterogeneity in bank failure costs. Based on a simple model we show that supranational supervision is more likely to be welfare enhancing when externalities are high and country heterogeneity is low.
