The paper provides robust evidence that compliance with Basel Core Principles (BCPs) has a strong positive effect on the Z-score of conventional banks, albeit less pronounced on the Zscoreof Islamic banks. Using a sample of banks operating in 19 developing countries, the results appear to be...

This study evaluates the credit risk of sustainable loans in a preferential capital requirement programme. We utilise loanlevel data from a uniquely implemented programme from Hungary, applying logistic regressions and survival analysis techniques. We observe a significantly reduced credit risk...

Can absolute minimum capital rules be used by lower-income countries when Basel-inspired capital rules are insufficient for their high equity, high-risk contexts? We discuss the limitations of standard capital rules for reducing bank risk in less developed financial systems and quantitatively...

The paper studies risk mitigation associated with capital regulation, in a context when banks may choose tail risk assets. We show that this undermines the traditional result that higher capital reduces excess risk-taking driven by limited liability. When capital raising is costly, poorly...
