Fundamentally, we have to ask what peoples expectations of assets prices were, and what they are now – I suspect that the response would be a lot less volatile than the market price.
However, if there has been a dip then that would be material – for those that own the assets. A countervailing factor would be the lower relative price of assets for those who do not own them – that comes with its own income effect 😉
“And I’m not convinced this is an asymmetric information problem, banks aren’t lending to each other because they really might fail, not just because they can’t credibly signal that they’re not going to fail”
But this only matters if the business that are going to fail will only do so because other banks aren’t loaning to them (so the projects they want to take on do have value) – which is an asymmetric information problem.
If the bank was going to fail in the situation of full information – then they have to go anyway. But how many institutions are like that in NZ (now that most of the finance companies are gone).
