tailieunhanh - SECURITIZATION, BANK LENDING AND CREDIT QUALITY THE CASE OF SPAIN

An important feature in many countries is the role of securitization in the lending and housing prices boom and burst. At the macroeconomic level, the dynamics of the relationship between lending, housing prices and securitization have been largely unexplored although a rising interest has recently emerged with the financial crisis. There is an empirical literature studying the interaction of lending and housing prices both at the international (Hofmann, 2001; Tsatsaronis and Zhu, 2004) and the individual country levels (Gerlach and Peng, 2005; Gimeno and Martínez-Carrascal, 2005) | EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK EUROSYSTEM NO 1329 I APRIL 2011 WORKING PAPER SERIES SECURITIZATION BANK LENDING AND CREDIT QUALITY THE CASE OF SPAIN by Santiago Carbó-Valverde David Marques-Ibanez and Francisco Rodríguez Fernández EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK EUROSYSTEM WORKING PAPER SERIES NO 1329 I APRIL 2011 SECURITIZATION BANK LENDING AND CREDIT QUALITY THE CASE OF SPAIN 1 by Santiago Carbó-Valverde 2 David Marques-Ibanez3 and Francisco Rodríguez Fernández4 NOTE This Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the European Central Bank ECB .
