Abstract
This paper investigates bank size as a factor of risk transmission in the US banking sector during the Subprime crisis. Risk transmission is examined in two directions: from large to small banks and from small to large banks. To do this, we estimated a Spatial Autoregressive model using information on all US commercial banks from 2005 to 2010. Our results show that risk transmission from small to large banks appeared during early stages of the Subprime Crisis and transmission from large to small banks appeared later but was more long lasting.
