Abstract This paper characterizes the Japanese main bank system as an arrangement for facilitating reciprocal delegation of monitoring among a set of banks. Reciprocal delegated monitoring allows banks and firms to remain diversified while ensuring that monitoring takes place without duplication, but when monitoring is unobservable, it induces a principal-agent relationship between non-main banks and the main bank. The convention that the main bank bears a disproportionately large share of bank losses is viewed as being part of a contractual arrangement among banks designed to give the main bank adequate incentives to carry out monitoring on behalf of lending banks as a whole.
