Abstract: We find that the lending behavior of large global banks’ subsidiaries throughout the world is more closely related to local macroeconomic conditions and their financial structure than to their owner-specific counterparts. This inference is drawn from a panel dataset populated with bank-level observations from the Bankscope database. Using this database, we identify ownership structures and incorporate them into a unique methodology that identifies and compares the owner and subsidiary-specific determinants of lending. A distinctive feature of our analysis is that we use multi- dimensional country-level data from the BIS international banking statistics to account for exchange rate fluctuations and cross-border lending
