From impulse response functions, we are able to assess … the extent of crowding-in or crowding-out of both components of investment. We also compute the associated macroeconomic … rates of return of public and private investment for each country. The results point mostly to the existence of positive …

This paper uses panel data on banks, for the period 1991-98, to test the existence of a bank-lending channel in the Spanish economy. In order to distinguish between loan demand and supply movements, several exercises are performed. First, we analyse the differential responses, to monetary policy...
