Visualizing Deflation: Failed Banks 2008-2009

Visualizing Bank Failures ( 2008-2009 ) from Computational Legal Studies on Vimeo.

Courtesy of Computational Legal Studies: "The movie [above] shows the location of bank failures, beginning in 2008 and concluding with the three failed banks from Friday, December 11, 2009. Each green circle corresponds to a bank failure, and the size of each circle corresponds logarithmically to the FDIC’s estimated cost for the Depository Insurance Fund, as stated in the FDIC press releases. For failures with joint press releases, such as the 9 banks that failed on October 30th, the circles are sized in proportion to their relative total deposits."
