Abstract Text | This paper provides evidence on the strategic lending decisions made by banks facing a negative funding shock. Using bank-rm level credit data, we show that banks reallocate credit within their domestic loan portfolio in at least three dierent ways. First, banks reallocate to sectors where they have high sector presence. Second, they also reallocate to sectors in which they are heavily specialized. Third, they reallocate credit towards low-risk rms. These reallocation eects are economically large. A standard deviation improvement in sector presence, sector specialization or rm risk reduces the transmission of the funding shock to credit supply by 20, 13 and 10%, respectively. We also provide insight in the timing of these reallocation decisions. Reallocation to sectors in which a bank has a high sector presence is almost instantaneous, while sector specialization starts playing a role four to ve months after the shock. |
