摘要
This paper extends research on the savings and loan (S&L) industry to the banking industry in order to determine whether political influence affects the length 4 time from initial undercapitalization until ultimate bank failure. Results suggest that undercapitalized banks with representation on the House banking committee were allowed to remain open longer than were other undercapitalized banks. These results provide evidence that membership on relevant House committees matters.
