A Moving-Average Formula for Calculating Deposit Insurance Assessments PDF (91k) by Panos Konstas This article examines the level and volatility of the assessment rates that would have been imposed if the current assessment policy had been in effect when the FDIC first began operations in 1934, and proposes an alternative approach for setting deposit insurance assessment rates that uses a moving-average formula. This approach would smooth the extremes in the high assessment rates required under the current policy, thus helping the banking industry through cyclical fluctuations.
