Methods: We included two groups of persons who were continuously health-insured between 2005–2010: A) Cases: Persons with a hospital discharge diagnosis of CRC (ICD C18–C20) between 2007–2010 and no such a diagnosis between 2005–2006 (to focus on incident CRC cases); B

The availability of credit varies over the business cycle through shifts in the leverage of financial intermediaries. Empirically, we find that intermediary leverage is negatively aligned with the banks ’ Value-at-Risk (VaR). Motivated by the evidence, we explore a contracting model that captures the observed features. Under general conditions on the outcome distribution given by extreme value theory (EVT), intermediaries maintain a constant probability of default to shifts in the outcome distribution, implying substantial deleveraging during downturns. For some parameter values, we can solve the model explicitly, thereby endogenizing the VaR threshold probability from the contracting problem. (JEL G01, G23, G32) The availability of credit and how credit varies over the business cycle have been subjects of keen interest, especially in the wake of the financial crisis. Some cyclical variation in total lending is to be expected, even in a frictionless world where the conditions of the Modigliani and Miller (1958) theorem hold. There are more positive net present value (NPV) projects that need funding when the economy is strong than when the economy is weak. Therefore,
