Abstract
This paper focuses on the use of bank debt by private family firms and whether it is higher for the first generations of family businesses than for their descendants and subsequent generations. We use a unique hand-collected data set of 4,041 private Spanish firms for the years 2004 to 2013. We find statistical evidence that family-controlled firms make greater use of bank credit. Moreover, we show that first-generation family firms acquire more bank debt than those of second and subsequent generations.
Furthermore, during financial crises, family-controlled
firms were subjected to less rationing, with increased
bank financing for first generations.
