Evaluating Systemic Risk in Deposit-Based Lending
A bank in a simple economy operates by accepting deposits of a physical commodity (grain) and issuing loans. To improve efficiency, the bank issues loans not by giving out physical grain, but by creating a new deposit account for the borrower. A rumor suddenly spreads that a significant portion of the bank's stored physical grain has been destroyed. Based on the bank's method of loan disbursement, evaluate the most significant and immediate threat to the bank's continued operation and explain the mechanism behind this threat.
