This thesis investigates three aspects of global banks that go beyond their textbook understanding as lenders and deposit-takers. Using export data from emerging Europe, the first chapter shows that when local banks lose correspondent banking services, their corporate clients reduce exports, leading to decreased revenues and employment.
The second chapter investigates the impact of organ trafficking on local conflict. By exploiting exogenous variation in kidney demand from the US waiting list for kidneys, I find that higher US kidney demand increases conflict in localities with a transplanting hospital in countries known for illegal organ trafficking.
Based on data from the German credit register and proprietary supervisory information, the third chapter first observes that banks lend more to banks that are similar to them. It then shows how a similar portfolio of the lending and borrowing bank helps overcome information asymmetries in interbank markets.
