REGULATORY CAPITAL AND LENDING







REGULATORY CAPITAL AND LENDING


MATT BRIGIDA

Associate Professor of Finance (SUNY Polytechnic Institute)

Goal of the Analysis

If we make an equity investment in a bank, increasing its regulatory capital as a percent of assets, will the bank increase its lending?

In addition:

  • What types of loans will the bank increase?
  • Has the relationship changed over time?
  • Will this increase Non-Performing Assets?

What You Will Need

The data set is large, and you'll need to use some fairly sophiticated statistical/machine learning models, so consider the following:

  • You'll need to use R, Python, or similar. Excel won't cut it.
  • If you would like me to help you write the code, you'll need a (free) Github account.

Panel Data Set

I have created a panel data set, which you can download from here.
