Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the drivers of the emerging loan broker market in the lending business value chain. Transaction cost economics, the dominant paradigm for understanding make or buy decisions, represents the starting point of my research. Capabilities based view of banking firms and modularity helps to understand the creation of intermediate markets.
Keywords: loan broker, value chain, vertical integration, loan origination, transaction costs, capabilities, modularity
