U.S. banks' lending to developing countries : a longer-term view
Terrell, Henry S.; Mills, Rodney H. (1985)
There was very little net new lending by U.S. banks to developing countries in 1983-84, following the heavy lending of preceding years. When non-spontaneous lending to Brazil, Mexico and some other Latin American countries is deducted, there was an absolute decline in U.S. banks' claims on these countries. However, estimates of net new lending based on charges in outstanding claims understate the amount of net new lending to these countries in 1983-84 by an amount on the order of $3-1/2 billion. This is because outstanding claims were reduced by a number of factors other than repayments; such ...

The determinants of the growth of multinational banking organizations: 1972-86
Dohner, Robert S.; Terrell, Henry S. (1988)
The paper develops an empirical model to explain growth of total assets of a sample of the world's largest banks. The model was estimated over a period in which U.S. banks' assets grew less rapidly than the assets of large banks headquartered in other industrial countries. The model provides an estimate of the banks' allocation between home currency and foreign currency assets which allows an estimate of the impact of exchange rate exchanges on bank asset growth. ; The results of the model suggest that no single economic variable explains the faster growth of non-U.S. banks. Changes in real ...

Working Paper
A simple simulation model of international bank lending
Dohner, Robert S.; Terrell, Henry S. (1987)
The paper develops a simple simulation model of international bank lending to test the extent to which targeting of fixed shares in the stock of total bank claims on a borrower can make lending flows unstable. The model is based on three distinct types of lending strategies: potentially volatile lending by one group of banks with limited long-term commitment to international lending; the targeting of a given share of the total lending market; and lending based on an assessment of the borrower's creditworthiness. ; The results of the model's simulations suggest that lending flows can become ...

Working Paper
International banking facilities
Terrell, Henry S.; Key, Sydney J. (1988)
The Federal Reserve Board permitted banking offices located in the United States to establish International Banking Facilities (IBFs) beginning in December 1981. The purpose was to allow these banking offices to conduct a deposit and loan business with foreign residents, including foreign banks, without being subject to reserve requirements or to the interest rate ceilings then in effect. IBFs are also exempt from the insurance coverage and assessments imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, a number of states have encouraged banking institutions to establish IBFs ...

The U.S. and U.K. activities of Japanese banks: 1980-1988
Lowrey, Barbara R.; Dohner, Robert S.; Terrell, Henry S. (1989)
In addition to dominating the list of the world's largest banks, Japanese banks currently account for about two-fifths of measured international banking assets of all banks. Between year-end 1984 and year-end 1988 Japanese banks accounted for slightly over one-half of the measured growth of total international banking activity. A large proportion of their international assets are at their branches in the United Kingdom and their agency and branch offices in the United States. ; This paper analyzes the U.S. and U.K. activities of Japanese banks. The paper integrates the activities of the ...
