The international transmission of financial shocks: the case of Japan

Article Abstract:

The fall in Japanese stock prices affected the US market significantly due to the binding of risk-based capital requirements to lending activities of Japanese banks in the US. The study also reveals that the transmission of stock market declines may be done through the lending responses of foreign branches of Japanese banks. The decline in lending activities ultimately led to the decline in lending supply in the US as one-fifth of all US lending requirements depended on Japanese banks operating in the US.
