The present paper aims at investigating the bank-specific and firm-specific determiners of both short-term and long-term credit supply. It applies a hierarchical regression model on data (2013-2014) related to a sample of 123 co-operative credit banks and more than 11,000 firms. The main findings suggest that in the long-term credit grant is mainly affected by banks’ capitalization, firms’ leverage and multiple bank. Instead, in the short-term it is connected to the amount of bank’s impaired loans and to firms’ Roe and leverage.
