Using quarterly data for the largest U.S. banks, the paper finds that capital, rather than liquidity, constrained lending. Banks took actions to increase capital by slowing lending and raising profit margins, not fully passing through the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts. Banks optimally choose capital based on the expected future demand for loans and the marginal cost of capital.
