The Revolving Door and Worker Flows in Banking Regulation

These results appear inconsistent with a "quid-pro-quo" explanation of the revolving door, but consistent with a "regulatory schooling" hypothesis.

Career data on federal and state bank regulators. Outflows to the private sector rise in booms and net flows into regulation are countercyclical; the authors say the pattern is inconsistent with a quid-pro-quo reading of the revolving door and consistent with "regulatory schooling".

Note
Standing note: descriptive flows, not an effect on enforcement. Published version not located in this pass (check JME). Use with Agarwal et al. 2014 as the revolving-door null; Lacuna's ledger documents moves, and this literature does not show the moves change outcomes.
