Bank Failures and Bank Fundamentals: A Comparative Analysis of Latin America and East Asia during the Nineties using Bank-Level Data
نویسنده
چکیده
The author develops the first comparative empirical study of bank failures during the nineties between East Asia and Latin America using bank-level data, in order to address the following two questions: (i) To what extent did individual bank conditions explain bank failures? (ii) Did mainly the weakest banks, in terms of their fundamentals, fail in the crisis countries? The main results for East Asia and Latin America show that bank-level fundamentals not only significantly affect the likelihood of bank failure, but also account for a significant proportion of the likelihood of failure for failed banks. Systemic shocks (macroeconomic and liquidity shocks) that triggered the banking crises mainly destabilized the weakest banks ex ante, particularly in East Asia. This finding raises questions about regional asymmetries in the degree of banking sector resilience to systemic shocks. JEL classification: G2, N2 Bank classification: Financial institutions

متن کاملBank branches efficiency assessment using dynamic data envelopment analysis approach to SBM
A new approach or model to the dynamic DEA, referred to as the adjusted dynamic DEA, is proposed in this study. Adjusted dynamic DEA optimizes the production activity of DMUs by introducing adjustment variables to modify the interconnecting activities between consecutive terms, solving conflicts that arise between terms and between management and shareholders. The non-oriented SBM model is used...
متن کاملFinding a suitable benchmark for commercial bank branches using DEA
This paper proposes a suitable benchmark for inefficient commercial bank branches by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In order to render an inefficient bank branch efficient, it is necessary to decrease inputs and increase outputs. As there are priorities for decreasing some certain inputs and increasing some certain outputs over other inputs and outputs, respectively, it is necessary ...
