Determinants and Consequences of Credit Tightening: An Analysis of the United States and the Euro Area

  • Chapter
A Flow-of-Funds Perspective on the Financial Crisis

Abstract

The interaction between the financial and the real sectors of the econ- omy has been studied intensively in the past- We may refer to different strands of the literature, such as the correlation between money and national income (Friedman and Schwartz, 1963); the non-monetary effects of the banking crises in the propagation of the Great Depres- sion (Bernanke, 1983); the links between money, credit and GDP (Sims, 1972; Bernanke and Blinder, 1988, 1992); and the bank lending channel (Kashyapetal., 1993).
