kaal:claim:1998455-028
Contingent capital securities approximate the characteristics of a quasi-public good: just as ships cannot readily be excluded from a lighthouse, systemically important institutions benefit from the issuance of contingent capital by other such institutions whenever the design minimizes systemic risk and contagion.
Source quote, verbatim
CCS could have the potential to approximate quasi-public good characteristics. Similar to the difficulty of excluding ships from using the services of a lighthouse,219 SIFIs may benefit from the issuance of CCS by other SIFIs if the CCS design min- imizes systemic risk and contagion.
