Credit Crunch Caused by Bank Failures and Self-Selection Behavior in Lending Markets

Abstract: This study investigates how bank failures affect the real economy from the lenders' perspective. Using experimental settings of unique bank failures in Japan, this paper identifies the credit crunch effect by bank failures. The main findings are the following. First, bank failures decrease the investments of the client firms by approximately 30%. Second, the high investment growth/level firms deal with unhealthy banks. These choices generate a self-selection bias of 30-80%. Third, there is no evidence that ban… Show more

“…They find that poorly capitalized banks do not increase loans when the Federal Reserve pursues an expansionary policy. Peek and Rosengren (2000), Calomiris and Mason (2003), Ashcraft (2005), Minamihashi (2011), andDell'Ariccia, Detragiache, andRanjan (2008) show that banking crises reduce real economic activity. Peek and Rosengren demonstrate the impact of loan supply on the real economy.…”

“…3, we only partially control the financial stability of correspondent financial institutions with the credit rating, which is one of the covariates we control. Some studies have argued that financial distress of banks reduces their client firms' investments (e.g., Gibson 1995;Minamihashi 2011). Thus, there is a possibility that the financial health of correspondent financial institutions affects firm bankruptcy.…”

“…Bank failure consequences can be financial, economic, and social or even political (Okeahalam,[19]). Additionally, Minamihashi [20] postulate that bank failure affects client firms of failed banks since they cannot borrow from the failed banks causing them to suffer from a credit crunch something that may stagnate the activities of such clients. Müller and Trümpler [21] opine that failure of banks precede a significant drop in output and an upsurge of unemployment.…”

“…Daley, Matthews and Whitfield [4] contend that bank failure includes closure, bankruptcy, supervised merger, or direct government assistance. Minamihashi [5] consider a bank to be a failure if it suspends issuance of new loans or credit to its clients. According to Bennett and Unal [6] liquidity, undercapitalization, safety, soundness, and fraud are some of the causes of bank failure.…”
