From Financial Crisis to Great Recession: The Role of Globalized Banks
利用英国银行季度资产负债表数据,研究发现全球化银行通过减少信贷供给,将非居民债权人冲击传导至国内实体经济,且外资银行分支机构比本土银行削减贷款更多。
This paper provides evidence of the role of globalized banks in transmitting financial stresses to the real economy during the global financial crisis. A novel dataset is constructed from quarterly balance sheet reports provided by all UK-resident banks to the Bank of England. I find that the shock to bank funding from non-resident creditors was transmitted domestically through a significant reduction in bank credit supply. Resident subsidiaries and branches of foreign-owned banks reduced lending by a larger amount than domestically-owned banks, while the latter calibrated the reduction in domestic lending more closely to the size of the funding shock.
