This is the first study to investigate how financial integration affects bank cost efficiency by applying the non-monotonic stochastic frontier model developed by Wang (2002) to a sample of East Asian commercial banks over the period 1997–2014. We consistently report a non-monotonic...

Using a sample of East Asian banks covering the period 1999-2014, this paper analyses the impact of natural disasters on commercial bank performance and how financial integration moderates this relationship. A dynamic GMM model reveals that natural disasters significantly lower deposit ratios...

This study investigated the impact of banking integration on recipient country bank default risk and, in particular, whether the type of banking integration moderates that relationship. Using the system generalized method of moments (GMM), the study found that banking integration lowers bank...

This paper provides the first insights into the capital structure of listed companies in Vietnam, one of the most dynamic economies in the Asia-Pacific region. We employ a panel GMM (generalized method of moments) system estimator to analyse the determinants of the capital structure of...

This paper explores the capital structure of listed Vietnamese companies in the broader context of financial development (the recent expansion of domestic equity and debt capital markets). Accordingly, the paper provides the first insights into the capital structure of listed companies in one of...
