In particular, the weaker lending effects of state-owned banks are pronounced for long-term and nonrevolving loans but insignificant for short-term and revolving loans. Moreover, the negative impact of government ownership is larger for borrowers who are more exposed to the COVID-19 shock and in regions where the ruling parties are longer in office and more positioned on the right side of the political spectrum.1 Online-Ressource (III, 30 Seiten, A3, 1,87 MB) : Diagrammeenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/330Book
