Bank Risk and Deposit Insurance
通过估算14个经济体中大量银行的存款保险成本，研究银行风险承担行为与公司治理结构的关系，发现股权集中度高的银行风险更大，且存款保险成本能预测银行困境。
Arguing that a relatively high cost of deposit insurance indicates that a bank takes excessive risks, this article estimates the cost of deposit insurance for a large sample of banks in 14 economies to assess the relationship between the risk‐taking behavior of banks and their corporate governance structure. The results suggest that banks with concentrated ownership tend to take the greatest risks, and those with dispersed ownership engage in a relatively low level of risk taking. Moreover, as a proxy for bank risk, the cost of deposit insurance has some power in predicting bank distress.
