Desigualdades na concessão de crédito em uma mesorregião do estado de São Paulo: preferência pela liquidez e polos de crescimento

Abstract

This paper investigates which variables affect the granting of credit by banks. The sample is made up of municipalities that make up the metropolitan mesorregion of the state of São Paulo and covers the years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. In the methodology, regressions were performed with panel data, which will consider stacked data models, effects random effects and fixed effects. The results indicated that the fixed effects model was the most suitable for the given sample. Among the variables, GDP, time deposits and number of agencies were the most significant in the granting of credit by banks. It was verified that the distance between municipalities and poles was not significant to explain the concession of credit.
