This paper tests for the existence of interest-rate contagion on the retail (insured) deposit rates of federally insured depository institutions in response to the Ohio savings and loan crisis in 1985. An autoregressive integrated moving average intervention model is used to analyze the effect of the crisis on the six-month retail certificate of deposit (CD) rates of 62 banks and thrifts operating in seven major metropolitan areas and 70 banks and thrifts operating within Ohio. The empirical results indicate that although deposit rates of institutions were found to increase significantly during the crisis period in response to a sudden increase in Treasury bill rates, risk premiums paid by the depository institutions were not significantly affected.
