“…Before the research paper of Berger and Bouwman (2009), different researchers used various measures of bank output to relate banks with economic growth (e.g., Deyoung et al, 2004;Duchin & Sosyura, 2014;Laeven & Levine, 2009). However, after Berger and Bouwman (2009), different studies have used their liquidity creation (LC) measures to find the relationship between bank activity and economic growth (Berger & Sedunov, 2017;Chatterjee, 2018;Davydov et al, 2018). Berger and Sedunov (2017) argue that LC is a better measure of bank output than total asset (TA) or grand total asset (GTA) because it not only takes on-balance sheet activities into consideration rather it also accounts for off-balance sheet guarantees, lines of credit and derivatives, and so on.…”
