摘要：
We show that price-cost margins for US banks are consistently countercyclical, even after controlling for credit risk, the term structure of interest rates and monetary policy. This evidence supports the existence of a "financial accelerator" in US banking. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
