In addition, this study addresses changes appeared in the loanable funds among the different types of financial institutions for a number of long-run periods. During these periods, there were a number of waves of credit allocation as a result of economic transformation and high priorities were given by the major banks. During the periods under research, in reallocating their available funds, banks all affected almost by financial, monetary, and economic conditions in the country. Banking history in Denmark suggests that this study can contribute to fruitful field of inquiry for understanding bank credit allocation in relation to economic changes. Particular emphasis will be given in this paper to the contribution of savings banks, commercial banks, and mortgage institutions to the various sectors of the economy. (Less)
