- Title
Shocks to bank capital: evidence from UK banks at home and away.
- Abstract
The article explores the importance of bank capital for lending in Great Britain. It shows that the external transmission of capital shocks may be present under a more general environment, which has demonstrated a specific transmission from Japanese parent banks to their external branches. It suggests that the distribution of bank capital matters because information problems impede an optimal transfer of capital from capital-rich lenders to capital-poor banks.
