Abstract (2. Language):
The purpose of this paper is to investigate relationships between individual
depositor behaviors, as to whether they will withdraw all of their deposits, and
factors behind them such as the degree of trust in information sources, frequency of
communication, individuals' transaction with banks, and individuals’ attributes. By
doing so, we suggest possible countermeasures whereby depositors will not
excessively withdraw their deposits after receiving uncertain information on the
financial environment. In this paper, we analyze the relationships by using data
collected through a Web-based survey. The results were as follows: First, individuals
who trust in information sources such as weekly/monthly magazines, the Internet,
and conversations with people at workplace would be more likely to withdraw their
deposits. Second, increases in phone calls with friends and in communication
frequency at neighborhood and workplaces also make depositors to withdraw
funds. Third, their tendency to withdraw deposits is affected by the individuals’
attributes such as gender and education. As the recognition of the deposit
insurance scheme among people seems to affect their behavior according to our
analysis, we suggest that it is better that authorities advertise the function of
deposit insurance schemes to prevent depositors from getting into a panic situation
like bank run.
