Comment on Thakor and Wilson

Article Abstract:

Authors Thakor and Wilson have focused on the demand side of bank loans in relation to the increase in capital requirements. This viewpoint is much needed since previous research preferred to focus on the supply equation. The two authors maintain that with increased capitalization requirements, demand for bank loans would not only decrease but would seek other financial sources such as capital markets.
