Abstract
We analyze investment and financing decisions for a broad sample of affiliated and independent banks during the 1994-1998 period. Our results indicate that growth in lending at affiliated banks is supported by net equity financing flows from parent holding companies. We also provide evidence that loan growth at affiliated banks, relative to independent banks, is less constrained by capital availability. Both findings appear relevant to understanding the diminishing role of independent banks in aggregate lending.
