其他摘要：The aim of this paper is to analyze the location by provinces of Foreign Banking installed in Spain in the period 2000-2015, according to the chosen installation form, subsidiaries or branches, the role played by Madrid and Barcelona as financial centers, and the influence of the economic crisis. Using the Panel Data technique, the results indicate that the presence of Offices is positively related to the size of the financial market of each province, and negatively to their degree of commercial opening abroad, both for Subsidiaries and Branches. Regarding Madrid and Barcelona, the results show a strong significance for both dummies, although with a positive sign for Madrid and negative for Barcelona. Finally, the incidence of the crisis is significant and positive, contrary to the expected sign, and is due to the entry of Venezuela into the Foreign Banking group. For the legal form of Subsidiaries the dummy crisis is significant and positive, changing to a negative sign if we exclude Venezuela from the sample, while for the legal form of Branches, the result has a negative sign but does not reach significance, indicating that the crisis does not affects this type of Entities.
