Abstract
US counties with higher population growth prior to 2000, experienced higher growth in residential construction in the run-up to the financial crisis of 2007-08. Banks operating in these counties shifted their loan portfolios more aggressively towards construction loans and away from other non-real estate loans. Although shifts towards construction lending that followed local construction activity did not lead to higher loan default rates, more aggressive shifts did.
