EXPLAINING BANK FAILURES : DEPOSIT INSURANCE , REGULATION AND EFFiCIENCY

چکیده
This paper uses micro-level historical data to examine the causes of bank failure. For statecharactered Kansas banks during 19 10-28, time-to-failure is explicitly modeled using a proportional hazards framework. In addition to standard financial ratios, this study includes membership in the voluntary state deposit insurance system and measures of technical efficiency to explain bank failure. The results indicate that deposit insurance system membership increased theprobability of failure and banks which were technically inefficient were more likely to fail than technically efficient banks.

How Does Regulation Affect the Risk Taking of Banks? A U.S. and Canadian Perspective
This historical study utilizes annual insured bank data from 1936 through 1989 to empirically evaluate the impact of bank regulation on bank risk taking in a cross-country comparison of the United States and Canada. Risk is hypothesized to be determined, in part, by the regulatory environment in which a bank operates. The findings of this analysis contributes to the contemporary deregulation po...

This paper uses stochastic frontier analysis and Tobit regressions to provide international evidence on the impact of regulatory, supervision and environmental factors on bank efficiency. Our contribution is twofold. First, we use a newly constructed database of 3,086 observations from 677 publicly quoted commercial banks operating in 88 countries to provide cross-country evidence on the determ...
متن کاملInternational evidence on the impact of regulations and supervision on banks’ technical efficiency: an application of two-stage data envelopment analysis
This study uses a sample of 715 banks from 95 countries and two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) to provide international evidence on the impact of regulations and supervision approaches on banks’ efficiency. We first use DEA to estimate technical and scale efficiency. We then use Tobit regression to investigate the impact of several regulations related to capital adequacy, private monitor...
متن کاملUsing Price Information as an Instrument of Market Discipline in Regulating Bank Risk
An important trend in bank regulation is greater reliance on market discipline. In particular, information impounded in securities prices is increasingly used to complement supervisory activities of regulators with limited resources. The goal of this paper is to analyze the theoretical foundations of market-based bank regulation. We find that price information only improves the efficiency of th...
متن کاملDoes financial regulation affect the profit efficiency and risk of banks? Evidence from China's commercial banks
The goal of financial regulation is to enable banks to improve liquidity and solvency. Stricter regulation may be good for bank stability, but not for bank efficiency. This research aims to examine whether banks have met the CBRC’s standard of financial regulations and explores how the previously implemented financial regulations have affected bank efficiency and risk in the past. In addition, ...
