Bank efficiency and access to credit: international evidence
F Osei-Tutu, L Weill - Economic Systems, 2022 - Elsevier
abstract This paper examines the impact of bank efficiency on access to credit. We test the
hypothesis that higher bank efficiency, meaning a better ability of banks to operate at lower
costs, favors access to credit for firms. To this end, we perform a cross-country analysis with
firm-level data on access to credit and bank-level data to compute bank efficiency, using a
sample of about 54,000 firms from 76 countries. We find that greater bank efficiency
improves access to credit for firms. The beneficial impact of bank efficiency to alleviate credit …
