Further evidence on the link between finance and growth: an international analysis of community banking and economic performance
Berger, Allen N.; Klapper, Leora; Hasan, Iftekhar (2003)
We try to contribute to both the finance-growth literature and the community banking literature by testing the effects of the relative health of community banks on economic growth, and investigating potential transmission mechanisms for these effects using data from 1993-2000 on 49 nations. Data from both developed and developing nations suggest that greater market shares and efficiency ranks of small, private, domestically-owned banks are associated with better economic performance, and that the marginal benefits of higher shares are greater when the banks are more efficient. Only mixed ...

The role of community banks in the U.S. economy
Kahn, George A.; Keeton, William R.; Weiner, Stuart E.; Schroeder, Linda (2003-04)
The U.S. banking system is unusual in consisting not only of some very large banks but also a large number of relatively small community banks. This bifurcated banking system in the United States has served the economy well. Over time, with regulatory change and financial innovation, large banks have become complex organizations engaged in a wide range of activities. They provide a variety of services to their customers, but often rely on hard financial information, computer models, and centralized decision-making as the basis for conducting business. In contrast, small banks have focused ...

Evidence of a credit crunch?: results from the 2010 survey of first district community banks
Wang, J. Christina; Triest, Robert K.; Montoriol-Garriga, Judit; Jeon, Jihye (2010)
This policy brief summarizes the findings of the Survey of Community Banks conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston in May 2010. This survey seeks to understand how the supply of, and demand for, bank business loans changed in the period following the financial crisis. The survey design focuses on assessing how much community banks were willing and able to lend to local businesses that used to be customers of large banks but lost access to credit in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The survey responses provide some evidence that lending standards for commercial loans have ...

The 2004 survey of community banks in the Tenth District
Myers, Forest; Robbins, Eric (2004-10-04)

The future of community banks: lessons from banks that thrived during the recent financial crisis
Meyer, Andrew P.; Fuchs, James W.; Gilbert, R. Alton (2013-03)
The authors study the distinguishing features of community banks that maintained the highest supervisory ratings during the recent financial crisis (2006 to 2011). They identify balance sheet and income statement ratios that separate these thriving banks from other community banks and supplement that analysis with detailed interview evidence from a sample of thriving banks. They conclude that there is a strong future for well-run community banks and that the banks that prosper will be the ones with strong commitments to maintaining risk control standards in all economic environments. There is ...
