Our results demonstrate the importance of capital requirements being set at a supranational level particularly when cross-country spillovers are large and national regulators su¤er from substantial degrees of regulatory capture. We further highlight the im-portance of llowing for supervisory "remoteness" in this context, and show that national regulators may want to surrender regulatory power only when spillover e¤ects are large but the degree of supervisory capture is relatively small. %G English %2 https://univ-pau.hal.science/hal-02440145/document %2 https://univ-pau.hal.science/hal-02440145/file/Bank_capital_regulation.pdf %L hal-02440145 %U https://univ-pau.hal.science/hal-02440145 %~ SHS %~ UNILIM %~ UNIV-PAU %~ AO-ECONOMIE %~ CREOP %~ OMIJ %~ CATT %~ UPPA-OA %~ GIO
