Abstract
This dissertation examines the impact of regulatory change on network partners through a study of the claims filed with an underwriter starting from the mortgage industry's lowest day in history, December 30, 2008, through December 31, 2018. By examining the impact of the mortgage housing bust, I clarify the methods by which regulatory change transforms network partnerships through this historically important event. Many view federal agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and "Big Industry" as the agents driving regulatory change. In this case, these groups acted in response to the mortgage industry's failure that led to the 2008 housing bust. Network governance attempted to align the requirements of network partners for sustainable solutions and challenges to unequal knowledge sharing that was believed to have contributed to the bust. By propelling change through regulation, network partners have clear expectations of one another. The time period studied includes the introduction of a regulatory change, the creation of the "hold harmless period" giving providers a longer period to comply with this change, and the period of the regulatory change's enforcement. I collected data from archival claims and analyzed the information using two major research strategies: a quantitative analysis of third party provider-level claims and aggregated data subsets to evaluate third party provider claimants. My results challenge the argument that regulatory changes are inconsequential to the network partners' performance. Drawing from insights in prior works, the analysis focuses on the partners' interactions and collaborations in the face of regulatory change. Partners aim to comply with these changes, but in order to do so, they increase the breadth of their relationship through more frequent interactions and collaborations. Based on the findings, this study makes recommendations to network partners on how to manage the impact of regulatory change.
