Commercial Real Estate Lending Concentrations: New Evidence, Elisabeta Pana

Elisabeta Pana

This study documents the management of risk used by small banks with commercial real estate lending concentrations prior to the 2007-2009 financial crisis. We show that banks with commercial real estate concentrations traded interest rate risk for credit risk. The trade-off is accompanied by a higher leverage and liquidity risk. Our findings support the argument advanced by policymakers and academic researchers that the increased scrutiny over banks’ lending standards and risk management practices is justified.

Commercial Real Estate Concentrations: Evidence On The Survival Of Small Banks, Elisabeta Pana

Elisabeta Pana

This study examines the survival of small banks with commercial real estate concentrations over the 2006-2009 period. Using data on 4646 banks, I document that commercial real estate loan concentrations increase the hazard of disappearance. The analysis of bank-specific factors reveals that bank capitalization, liquidity, and asset quality play a significant role on bank survival. I also find evidence that small banks in the Pacific Southwest and South Atlantic regions are less likely to survive as separate entities.
