Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between banking competition and credit availability for a large sample of Italian firms. The main results show that relationships last more years when competition increases and when the loan is guaranteed by collateral. Moreover, we show a positive impact of length and exclusivity of relationships on credit availability and the existence of a sector specialization effect
