Title : Politics and Banking

Download the presentation - 6.61 MB

We look into the relationship between banking and politics. Will banks use their access to the government to their private benefit and/or will politicians use their access to banks for political or private benefits? What are the potential mechanisms? Can data reveal which of these potential mechanisms are at work in real live?
