Abstract

[eng] The relation between the cost of a loan and the corresponding amount borrowed : an interpretation in terms of a large credit channel. . The credit cost survey, conducted by The Bank of France, makes an inventory of the rates on new loans granted by a panel of banks. We can observe that the spread of rates between two loans of different amounts rises when the refunding rate is decreasing. We interpret this behaviour by introducing the external finance premium, i.e. the difference in cost between internal and external funds. For ins­tance, when the refunding rate decreases, firms that face too many informational problems to be able to borrow enter the credit market and this effect is greater than the general decrease in rates. So we have a shift in the type of borrowers (the "flight to quality" effect) and at the same time changes in the borrowed amount for a given type of borrower, which gives the observed behaviour on the rates spread. We modelise this phenomenon and test it on our data. [fre] Coût du crédit et montant des prêts. Une interprétation en termes de canal large du crédit. . L'enquête de la Banque de France sur le coût du crédit recense les taux sur les nouveaux prêts accordés par un échantillon d'agences bancaires. On observe que l'écart des taux sur deux prêts de montants différents s'accroît en période de baisse du taux de refinancement. Nous donnons une interprétation de ce phénomène en termes de canal large du crédit en introduisant la notion de prime de financement externe, c'est-à-dire d'écart de coût entre le financement interne et le financement externe. En particulier, lorsque le taux de refinancement diminue, des entreprises, jusque-là trop confrontées à des problèmes d'information pour emprunter, entrent sur le marché du crédit, et cet effet l'emporte sur la baisse générale des taux. Nous modélisons ce phénomène et le testons sur nos données.
