Do non-financial firms react to monetary policy actions as banks do? Carbó Valverde, Santiago López del Paso, Rafael Monetary policy transmission Bank lending channel Liquidity Non-financial firms Banks The theory of the bank lending channel indicates that financial institutions with larger size, higher capitalisation and higher liquidity present a greater capacity to maintain their levels of credit supply in a situation of monetary contraction. However, there is a paucity of (European) studies that analyse the bank lending channel from the non-financial firms’ perspective. This paper analyzes the impact of monetary policy actions on a large sample of Spanish firms. The empirical evidence for Spain shows that the impact of size, solvency and liquidity are similar for banks and non-financial firms. 2014-04-29T12:48:27Z 2014-04-29T12:48:27Z 2005 info:eu-repo/semantics/report Carbó Valverde, S.; López del Paso, R.
