Related literature

Our paper is closely related to studies analysing credit supply based on BLS indicators and the impact
of monetary policy shocks on bank lending conditions in the euro area.
Hempell and Kok (2010) disentangle
pure loan supply based on the BLS factors and investigate the role played by such factors for loan growth.
Several other studies link confidential individual BLS data with actual bank-level data, but not firm
data, allowing an analysis of bank characteristics relevant for bank lending conditions.
They find that a short-term interest rate shock decreases both loan supply
and demand, but more for less healthy banks.
Their findings are consistent with the results of our paper on the favourable impact of bank health on lending standards.
Both papers tend to find no evidence of higher risk taking of banks as a result
of accommodative monetary policy.
More recent studies are based on
confidential bank and firm-level data from national credit registers.

Ferrero, Nobili, and Sene (2019) arrive at a corresponding conclusion on the risk-taking
channel based on a confidential loan-level dataset of Italian banks.
In another paper, Altavilla, Boucinha, and Bouscasse (2022)
disentangle credit demand and supply based on euro area credit register data (AnaCredit) for the period
of the pandemic.
Our results emphasise the
mitigating impact of government guarantees on a tightening of credit standards during the pandemic.
This mitigating impact played a major role in loan demand and not credit supply being decisive for lending volumes during the pandemic.
Based on their model, accommodative monetary policy is part of the optimal policy mix, combined with social insurance.
