Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper provides evidence that the recent housing bust in the United States precipitated a “credit crunch” for small businesses. We compare banks’ small business lending in the same metropolitan areas, and find that those that originated or purchased more of their mortgage loans in depressed housing markets elsewhere reduced local lending more substantially. The findings suggest a substantial spill-over effect across sectors and geographical areas. The effect is greater for banks with more than $10bn in assets. Overall, the fall in house prices accounted for one third of the decline in small business loans originated by major banks in the U.S. from 2007 to 2009.
