Does the banking sector structure matter for credit procyclicality?

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the banking sector structure matters in explaining credit procyclicality for 17 OECD countries over the 1986-2010 period. To this end, we first provide a detailed classification of the banking system structure through the use of a hierarchical clusteri...
