1 To conduct extensive review of prior research that is related to our project. This includes the literature of finance, banking and network analysis, with particular focus on the bank loan syndication literature. 2 To construct banking networks and variables that we need to use. 3 To conduct a series of models that capture the key points of the research. 4 To conduct a series of regressions based on the constructed models and cleaned data to understand the effects of business and social networks on the bank loan syndicate structure and on the other measures of risk sharing. 5 To examine different independent variables’ conditional effects on the bank loan syndicate structure. We will include interaction terms of the network indicators and other factors. We will also apply natural experiments.
