"The Color of Hedge Fund Activism"

Photo

Abstract:

Banks targeted by hedge fund activism reduce racial disparities in mortgage approvalrates and interest rates. However, racial differences in mortgage foreclosure rates do notchange, suggesting that the effect is not driven by changes in risk or risk preferences.We find that target banks experience higher turnovers of mortgage officers and opennew bank branches to address the lending discrimination problem.
