Bank credit allocation and sectorial concentration in Mexico : some empirical evidence
Ramos-Francia, Manuel; García-Verdú, Santiago - 2017
a proxy of firms' concentration can explain relative bank credit growth at a sectorial level in the Mexican economy. To … that end, we divide our sectors into two groups based on their average concentration. Then, we estimate a panel regression … concentration growth contribute to explaining relative credit growth, particularly so in the group with high average concentration …
