| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines fixed-rate (hereafter as: f-r.) and adjustable-rate (here as: a-r.) loans to find out how small firms manage their exposure to interest rate (here as: i-rt./i-rts.) risk. It is found that credit-constrained firms match significantly more often with f-r. loans, consistent with prior research showing the supply of credit shrinks during periods of rising i-rts. Banks originate a higher share of a-r. loans than other lenders, improving maturity mismatch and exposure to the lending channel of monetary policy. Time-series patterns in the f-r. share are consistent with recent evidence on debt market timing. |
