Cross-border banking and transmission mechanisms in Europe: evidence from German data

Claudia Buch

Applied Financial Economics, 2004, vol. 14, issue 16, 1137-1149

Abstract: International activities of commercial banks play a potential role for the transmission of shocks across countries. This paper presents stylized facts of the integration of European banking markets and analyses the potential of banks to transmit shocks across countries. Although the openness of banking systems has increased, bilateral financial linkages among EU countries are relatively small. The exceptions are claims of German banks on a number of smaller countries. These data are used for an analysis of the determinants of cross-border lending patterns.
