Abstract

Banks have been cited frequently as an efficient institution for channelling funds from lenders to firms. Germany is the prototypical economy where universal banks, which offer a wide-range of financial services, allegedly exert substantial influence over firms. This paper presents a systematic evaluation of German bank influence.
