Business Group Ownership of Banks: Issues and Implications

Published By: IEG on eSS | Published Date: May, 19 , 2010

This 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/]
