D. Verdier

Working Papers from European Institute - Political and Social Sciences

Abstract: State banking, defined as the intervention of the state in the allocation of credit, became important in some countries during the postwar era but not in others, and then more or less disappeared in the 1980s. The purpose of the article is to develop an explanation for longitudinal and cross-national variations in state banking for seventeen OECD countries.
