ABSTRACT
This thesis studies firms' and households’ borrowing decisions. In the first chapter, I study the longterm borrowing behavior of firms exposed to a large and unexpected financial shock. In the second chapter (joint work with Pálma Filep-Mosberger and Attila Lindner), we investigate firm-bank relationship formation. In the third chapter (joint work with Győző Gyöngyösi and Emil Verner), we study the consumption response of increased household debt by exploiting a household foreign currency debt crisis in Hungary.
