Competition, stability, and institutional environment: The case of dual banking economies
研究了17个双重银行体系国家中竞争与制度质量对银行稳定性的影响，发现竞争对稳定性有异质性效应，政治和经济制度质量提升能增强银行稳定性。
Abstract We measure the impact of competition and institutional quality on stability for dual banking economies. Our sample comprises 492 banks (109 Islamic and 383 conventional banks) from 17 countries with dual‐banking systems. The sample period is from 2005 to 2020. The estimations are performed using Two Step System Generalized Method of Moments approach. Our findings reveal heterogeneous effect of competition on stability. We found the evidence of competition‐stability paradigm in case of full sample as well as for Islamic banks. There is no effect of competition on the stability of conventional banks. Furthermore, there is no evidence of size effect in the competition‐stability results. The impact of legal institution is insignificant. We also observe that better quality of political and the economic institutions increases the bank stability. We attribute these findings to the conjecture that better political and/or legal institutions improve bank stability by reducing information asymmetry and adverse selection. Finally, we find the evidence that political, legal and economic dimensions of institutions have differential effect on competition‐stability relationship. The findings are robust to alternative definitions of competition, stability and different methodological approaches.
