Abstract
We analyze the relationship between bank size and small business lending, and we attempt to identify the supply curve of small business loans for US banks by estimating a simultaneous equations model of the supply of and demand for small business loans. This study provides a comprehensive approach to the size-and-small-business-lending issue by: (a) providing a long run perspective by framing the discussion in the context of recent significant contributions by economic historians; (b) considering a wide range of both theoretical and empirical literature on bank-borrower relationships and related issues; and (c) analyzing the relation by applying simultaneous equations techniques covering the period both before and after the bank consolidation induced by the 2007-2009 financial crisis. We attempt to identify and estimate a supply curve of small business credit for all US banks for this period.
