Business Group Ownership of Banks: Issues and Implications
Published By: IEG on eSS | Published Date: May, 19 , 2010This paper introduces the phenomenon of business groups in the theory of financial
intermediation by banks, developed by Diamond (1984) with a view to analyzing
their impact on the result of financial intermediation. Two kinds of business groups
are distinguished, depending on the relationship between the firms and the bank
comprising the group. It is argued here that the result of financial intermediation
depends on the type of business groups. [IEG Working Paper No. 308] URL: [http://www.iegindia.org/]
