Theoretically it can go both ways as deposit insurance can increase risk taking. Empirically there is some evidence crises can increase.

“Fully implemented” implies implementation in a way that minimizes moral hazard, e.g. through a European reinsurance scheme.

In principle effect of DI in crisis is clear, but for EU DI much depends on implementation and harmonization. EU has mixed record on that.

No, it would not iprovided it is implemented cleverly, e.g. relying on a reinsurance scheme.

Clear tradeoff w/ ex ante moral hazard. Evidence supports this & some suggests ex ante effect dominates but much depends on supervision.

Quite the opposite: it is essential for systemic stability of the banking system. Of course, if it is well designed!
