Regional banks and industrial employment – findings from a comparison of European countries
In light of geopolitical conflicts, the production of physical goods is seen as necessary to ensure resilient economies. However, understanding the factors supporting manufacturing remains limited. The three-sector model falls short in explaining large industrial sectors in high-income countries. Germany is a high-income country with significant secondary sector employment and features a geographically decentralized banking system. A coincidence?…
High-tech development for “left behind” places
Unlike development strategies for prosperous regions and their prioritisation of high-tech sectors, alternative strategies for left behind places are suggested that shift to foundational economies, community-based social innovation and well-being. While we support this emphasis, we see a tendency to neglect the role of change agents engaged with research and teaching in high-tech domains for initiating new regional growth paths. This study shows …
The Covid‐19 Pandemic and Relationship Banking in Germany
By providing liquidity Hausbanks can support business clients to overcome the social shutdown and hence cushion the economic impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Germany's regional banks demonstrated such ability in the financial crisis of 2008/09 when, in contrast to large banks, they extended lending. Revisiting research on the global financial crisis and relationship banking, this note presents hints on the soundness and lending ability of retail…
Raum und Unternehmen
The involvement of companies and people in the provision of services of general interest in structurally weak, demographically shrinking regions is becoming increasingly important. In addition to examining the social responsibility of companies under the term ‘corporate social responsibility’, this study also focuses on regional corporate engagement. Against the background of the known dilemmas in the area of civil societal engagement, in which f…
Bank branches as places of knowledge creation
Distance and Modern Banks’ Lending to SMEs
By lending at a shorter functional distance, regional banks are associated with enhanced access to soft information compared with large banks, thus allowing superior screening, which consequently reduces credit rationing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This article scrutinises this widespread assumed association, considering the ubiquitous application of rating systems that potentially reduce regional banks’ local credit-granting au…
