Abstract
We use loan-by-loan association between non-financial firms and their banks to disentangle the effects of financial weakness of borrowers and lenders on the satisfaction with the loan contracted. We construct indices measuring the financial weakness of borrowers and lenders. We find evidence of both demand and supply factors determining firm satisfaction with bank loan financing, especially regarding cost and collateral requirement. We also find that the impact of supply factors differs across regions within the EU: it is significant in periphery and cohesion countries but not in core countries where access to market is easier.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Financial Services Research publishes high quality empirical and theoretical research on the demand, supply, regulation, and pricing of financial services. Financial services are broadly defined to include banking, risk management, capital markets, mutual funds, insurance, venture capital, consumer and corporate finance, and the technologies used to produce, distribute, and regulate these services. Macro-financial policy issues, including comparative financial systems, the globalization of financial services, and the impact of these phenomena on economic growth and financial stability, are also within the JFSR’s scope of interest. The Journal seeks to promote research that enriches the profession’s understanding of financial services industries, to elevate industry and product efficiencies, as well as to inform the debate and promote the formulation of sound public policies.
