• We model two different bad bank schemes: a scheme similar to an outright sale of toxic assets to a bad bank and a scheme similar to a repurchase agreement over the toxic assets.
• We derive a critical transfer payment that induces a bank manager to participate.
• We examine the bad bank schemes’ effects on credit supply, financial stability and costs to the taxpayers.
• An outright sale will be less costly to taxpayers than a repurchase agreement if the transfer payment is sufficiently low.
This paper develops a model to analyze two different bad bank schemes, an outright sale of toxic assets to a state-owned bad bank and a repurchase agreement between the bad bank and the initial bank. For both schemes, we derive a critical transfer payment that induces a bank manager to participate. Participation improves the bank's solvency and enables the bank to grant new loans. Therefore, both schemes can reestablish stability and avoid a credit crunch. An outright sale will be less costly to taxpayers than a repurchase agreement if the transfer payment is sufficiently low.
