RESUMO

We study the e¤ects of population size in the Peck-Shell analysis of bank runs. We nd that a contract featuring equal-treatment for al- most all depositors of the same type approximates the optimum. Because the approximation also satis es Green-Lin incentive constraints, when the planner discloses positions in the queue, welfare in these alternative spec- i cations are sandwiched. Disclosure, however, is not needed since our approximating contract is not subject to runs. keywords: bank fragility, role of population size, role of aggregate uncer- tainty
