Gross Loan Flows

Abstract

Changes in net lending hide the much larger and more variable gross lending flows. We present a series of stylized facts about gross loan flows and how they vary over time, bank size, and the business cycle. We look at both the intensive (increases and decreases) and extensive (entry and exits) margins. In contrast to the standard result with net lending, gross lending quantities respond to monetary policy.
