Macroprudential policies and bank competition: International bank-level evidence
研究了八类银行导向的宏观审慎政策变化对银行竞争和稳定性的影响,发现政策收紧平均提高了竞争和稳定性,但不同政策和国家存在差异。
The paper analyzes the effect of changes in eight types of bank-oriented macroprudential policies on bank competition and stability. Using a bank-level database of a maximum of 2511 listed banks from 52 countries, I find that a tightening in bank-oriented macroprudential policies on average increases both bank competition and stability. However, there are differences across policies and countries. Loan supply and liquidity-based policies increase bank competition whereas capital and tax-based policies reduce bank competition. Tighter legal restrictions on entry and activity in a country reduce the positive (increase the negative) effect of macroprudential policies on bank competition. In terms of policy implications, I identify a sub-set of especially useful macroprudential policies that increase not only financial stability but also bank competition.
