Abstract
This study examines the effect of the lender’s social capital on the link between the borrower’s social capital and the cost of bank loans. We exploit the last financial crisis as an exogenous shock to trust during which social capital becomes more valuable. Our findings suggest that when a lender’s social capital is high, borrowers with high social capital pay 46.22 basis points less on their bank loans than those with low social capital.
Keywords:
- Social capital,

Résumé
Cette étude examine l’effet du capital social du prêteur sur le lien entre le capital social de l’emprunteur et le coût des prêts bancaires. On a exploité la dernière crise financière, comme un choc exogène à la confiance des acteurs du marché financier, au cours duquel le capital social a pris plus de valeur. Nos résultats suggèrent que lorsque le capital social du prêteur est élevé, les emprunteurs ayant un capital social élevé paient 46,22 points de base de moins sur leurs prêts bancaires que les emprunteurs ayant un capital social faible.

Resumen
En este trabajo se estudia el efecto del capital social del prestador sobre el vínculo entre el capital social del prestatario y el coste de los préstamos bancarios. Se ha aprovechado la última crisis financiera como un choque exógeno de confianza, durante la cual el capital social se volvió más valioso. Los resultados sugirieron que cuando el capital social de un prestador es alto, los prestatarios con alto capital social pagan 46.22 puntos básicos menos en sus préstamos bancarios que aquellos que lo tienen más bajo.
