How Fast Will Banks Adopt New Technology This Time?

We offer insight into this question of what might happen with respect to the introduction of new technologies by looking back at what did happen following introduction of an earlier technology: bank websites.

Does the Community Reinvestment Act influence lending? an analysis of changes in bank low-income mortgage activity

Anecdotal evidence that the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) influences the lending behavior of financial institutions has not been uniformly supported by empirical research. We revisit this issue by evaluating changes in low-income mortgage lending at commercial banks over the 1992-96 period.

The people we are looking at, in other words, are those who are brought in to ?run the farm? rather than those who are brought in to work on it?that is, the newcomers are older. But are they older or younger in rural areas than in cities? And, perhaps more importantly, have they been growing even older, or younger, over time?
