Business groups and financial constraints: evidence from Pakistani group affiliated firms

We test whether group affiliation reduces the financial constraints for the affiliated firms in Pakistan. Results reveal that group affiliated firms are not financially constrained. Further, we find evidence for an internal capital market in business groups that reduces the financing constraints of the affiliated firms. Surprisingly, positive effect of business affiliation is limited only to firms affiliated to twenty largest business groups.
