Note: The solid lines trace the impulse responses of the sectoral output of mining (M), industry (IN), agriculture (A), trade (T), trans-
portation (TR) and services (S) to a shock in bank lending (B) for the years 1870 to 1912.

Note: The variance decomposition (in percent) is shown for the sectoral output of mining (M),
industry (IN), agriculture (A), trade (T), transportation (TR) and services (S). The figures show the
share of the forecast error variance that is due to a shock in bank lending.
