(1001 Sherbrooke St. West)\, Room 245\n\nAll are cordially invite d to attend.\n\nAbstract:\n\nWe construct a novel and comprehensive databa se of financial architecture\, i.e.\, the nature and composition of regula ted and shadow banks\, at the county level over 1920-2000 from Yellow Page s published in Indiana\, Michigan\, and Ohio. Shadow banks have large foot prints representing about one-third of the entire financial institutions o n the main streets\; the county-level variation in their presence dwarfs s tate-level differences\; and they act as a complement\, on average\, to th e regulated banks in the area. They facilitate efficient reallocation of l ocal assets\, namely farmlands in the county\, via consolidation when farm ing becomes more profitable. Reallocation results in a cost-efficient use of capital equipment and higher land valuation. Our results show that anal yzing the full spectrum of financial architecture at a granular level can be a fruitful avenue for future research in banking and finance.\n DTSTART:20250912T143000Z DTEND:20250912T154500Z LOCATION:Room 245\, Bronfman Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1G5\, 1001 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Desmarais Global Finance Research Centre (DGFRC) Seminar: Amiyatosh Purnanandam URL:/desautels/channels/event/desmarais-global-finance -research-centre-dgfrc-seminar-amiyatosh-purnanandam-367160 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
