Nonbank Lending, Private Firms, and Credit Cycles

with Stefano Colonnello and Michael Koetter

Abstract

Using data from the U.S. syndicated loan market, we document the importance of nonbank credit for private firms. Both aggregate and micro-level tests show that nonbank lending and lending to private firms are more cyclical than bank lending and lending to public firms, respectively. The evidence suggests the growth of nonbank financial intermediation and the rising importance of private firms are tightly interlinked phenomena, raising questions about the potential of these segments to amplify the financial cycle.
