Working papers:

“Big Banks versus Small Banks: Good or Bad for Industries?”  Job Market Paper

 Abstract      Full Text

I explore the effect of banking concentration and banking competition on the performance of manufacturing sectors. Theory offers ambiguous explanations regarding the effects of both banking concentration and banking competition on the size of manufacturing sectors and empirical studies using cross country data have not reached a consensus on these effects. I calculate a time series index of banking concentration for each country and using this index, I provide evidence that industries that rely more on external finance perform better in countries where there is a high level of banking concentration. I find the opposite result for banking competition.
