Therefore, this study presents a set of novel and multidisciplinary narratives that give insight into four ...

This paper shows that politicians’ pressure to climb the career ladder increases bank risk exposure in their region.

DIW Discussion Papers 1781 / 2019
We examine the credit channel of monetary policy from 2000 to 2015 in the Euro Area using daily monetary policy shock and credit risk measures in an autoregressive distributed lag model. We find that an expansionary monetary policy shock leads to a short-run increase in the credit risk of non-financial corporations. This dysfunctionality of the credit channel is driven by the crisis-dominated post-2009 ...
