| Abstract: | The authors study the effects of structural changes in banking markets on the supply of credit to small businesses. Specifically, the authors examine whether bank mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and entry have "external" effects on small business loans by other banks in the same local markets. The results suggest modest positive external effects from these dynamic changes in competition, except that large banks may reduce small business lending in reaction to entry. The authors confirm bank size and age as important determinants of this lending, and show that the measured age effect does not appear to be driven by local market M&A activity. |
