This paper presents an integrated risk management methodology for measuring and managing the economics, risks, and financial resources/constraints related to deposits and loans in a commercial bank. Within a comprehensive and integrated framework, we develop valuation and risk models for all...

This paper finds that an additional percentage point in the ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital to risk-weighted assets is associated with an increase in the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of Chilean banks by a maximum of only 11.7 basis points. This result is found by...

We set up a simple theoretical model in which banks with varying degrees of government support are matched with CEOs that have different degrees of overconfidence. The channel through which the matching occurs is the share of bonus payments offered by banks in their profit-maximizing contracts....

This paper studies the determinants of net interest margin and of the exposure to the interest rate risk of a sample of 125 local Italian banks during the period 2006-2018. Relative to prior literature, to take advantage of the unprecedented interest rate environment determined by European...

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine whether board characteristics moderate the relationship between capital adequacy regulation and bank risk-taking of universal banks in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Design/methodology/approach The paper uses 700 bank-year observations of universal...

The purpose of the article is to identify key banking activity models in Ukraine and show how they changed under the influence of the Revolution of Dignity, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the imposition of martial law. The proposed method uses cluster analysis of the main indicators for banking...

We examine how investors' perception of bank balance sheet risk evolved before and during the March-April 2023 bank run. To do so, we estimate the covariance ("beta") of bank excess stock returns with returns on factors constructed from long-short portfolios sorted on shares of uninsured...

Purpose: This paper examines the significant effect of off-balance sheets (OBS) on earnings management in the banking industry in Indonesia. Furthermore, this study also examines the role of market power as a moderating variable that moderates the relationship between off-balance sheet...

In this paper, we analyse the appropriate capital adequacy ratio for banks from a socio-economic perspective. More equity capital in banks can contribute to financial stability by reducing the risk of costly banking crises, but lending may become more expensive if banks are required finance...

The risk of lending money collected from savers is that it leaves banks liable to default with depositors if events (and hence repayment demands) become "abnormal". Even though international and national regulation has been introduced to ensure that a certain level of capital is retained by...

We model the bank loan negotiation process as a bargaining game interaction between two individuals (the firm applicant and the bank officer). The novelty of our model lies in that the relative outcome of the players (as measured by the spread) is affected by different behavioral and situational...

Policy evaluation based on the estimation of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models with aggregate macroeconomic time series rests on the assumption that a representative agent can be identified, whose behavioural parameters are independent of the policy rules. Building on earlier work by...

The current study aims to examine the determinants of the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) in the context of Jordanian banks through a literature review and analysis of empirical evidence. The aggregate data were obtained from Globaleconomy.com, the Financial Soundness Indicators, the Central Bank...

We analyze domestic, foreign, and central banks holdings of public debt for 31 countries for the period of 1989-2022, applying panel regressions and quantile analysis. We conclude that an increase in sovereign risk raises the share of domestic banks' portfolio of public debt and reduces the...

Kenyan farmers' Deposit-taking Savings and Credit Co- operatives (DT-SACCOs) have seen a drop in credit provision, from 9.6 % in 2022 to 5.2 % in 2023. Additionally, 52 % of these SACCOs have been declared illiquid due to imprudent lending practices. This has led to the closure or license...

There have been a renewed focus on portfolio management of deposit money banks since the global financial crisis of 2007-09. This renewed focus is based on the understanding that an efficient portfolio management reduces risks and loss associated with uncertainty of investment returns which may...

Interconnectedness is an inherent feature of the modern financial system. While it contributes to efficiency of financial services, it also creates structural vulnerabilities: pernicious shock transmission and amplification impacting banks' capitalization. This has recently been seen during the...

Understanding the impact of changing interest rates onto banks' net interest margin is of central importance for various stakeholders. The primary focus lies often on changes in the interest level. However, changes in the steepness are a second driver which also significantly impacts banks'...

Interconnectedness is an inherent feature of the modern financial system. While it contributes to efficiency of financial services, it also creates structural vulnerabilities: pernicious shock transmission and amplification impacting banks' capitalization. This has recently been seen during the...

Financial institutions, particularly banks, have long grappled with the dilemma of structuring their capital optimally. This process, commonly referred to as capital structure decision-making, is of paramount importance, especially within the financial services sector, where strict regulations...

This paper shows that the rise in import competition from China forced U.S. banks to rebalance their credit portfolios away from business loans and towards mortgage lending during the period from 1999 to 2006. We show that while aggregate mortgage lending declines in exposed counties, banks that...

A major function of banks in any economic system involves the mobilization of deposits which they deploy to deficit units for the growth of their profitability, the financial system and the whole economy. Asset and liability management is of special importance in this process and without which a...

Interconnectedness is an inherent feature of the modern financial system. While it con-tributes to efficiency of financial services, it also creates structural vulnerabilities: pernicious shock transmission and amplification impacting banks’ capitalization. This has recently been seen during...

We study whether regulation that relies on historical cost accounting (HCA) rather than mark-to-market accounting (MMA) to insulate banks’ net worth from financial market volatility affects the transmission of quantitative easing (QE) through the bank lending channel. Using detailed...
