摘要:We employ a unique identication strategy linking survey data on household consumption expenditureto bank-level data to estimate the eects of bank nancial distress on consumer credit and consump-tion expenditures. We show that households whose banks were more exposed to funding shocks reportlower levels of non-mortgage liabilities. This, however, does not result in lower levels of consumption.Households compensate by drawing down liquid assets to smooth consumption in the face of a temporaryadverse lending supply shock. The results contrast with recent evidence on the real eects of nance onrms' investment and employment decisions.
