Determinants of Bank Lending in Europe and the US. Evidence from Crisis and Post Crisis Years

Author

Listed:

Abstract

We investigate bank lending patterns and their determinants in Europe and the US over 2008-2014. Precisely, we relate bank characteristics prior to the financial crisis to their lending behaviour during and after the crisis period. Our analyis confirms the existence of a bank lending channel, that is stronger in Europe than in the US and especially if we look at corporate loans rather than at the whole loan portfolio.
