21 Summary Companes that borrowed from banks that became dstressed (and natonalsed) were more lkely to ext the market n the years followng natonalsaton compared to a counterfactual where they had borrowed from a bank that dd not become dstressed Some evdence that natonalsed banks dffered from other banks n contrbutng to the ext of Lower leverage companes Hgher productvty companes Productvty n survvng companes Lookng at companes that stay n busness we do not detect a general effect on short term loans, captal ntensty, or productvty of beng assocated wth a dstressed bank (comparng several years before and after the crss) Data weaknesses may be contrbutng to ths

22 Conclusons Dd a credt supply shock contrbute to a reducton n productvty? Maybe yes, by contrbutng to the ext of potentally productve companes Less dfferental across banks n contrbuton to ext of hgh leverage companes Evdence of forbearance? Or s t just that hgh leverage companes are more lkely to ext n a recesson (regardless of the lender)? Are credt constrants a key drver of recent productvty weakness? Key explanatons of recent productvty weakness need to be able to explan the weakness of productvty wthn companes No obvous correlaton at the sector level between the productvty devaton from trend or reallocaton effects on productvty and bank dependence To what extent are these results applcable more wdely? Not clear that we can extrapolate from ths experment to credt shocks more generally Banks could de-leverage n alternate ways. Credt tghtenng by good banks mght also have contrbuted to productvty weakness. Data ssues.
