Abstract: In this study, we find that non-merger rival banks of failed banks from 2008 to 2013 experience substantial negative abnormal stock returns in the United States when failed banks are auctioned.

We also find evidence that FDIC resolutions of these failed banks, similar to previous regulatory interventions, distort the market competition.
