Bank credit in uncertain times: Islamic vs. conventional banks

Our results are robust to alternative specifications and addressing endogeneity concerns using GMM ...

Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Using a sample of 2977 private and listed banks in the EU-5 countries (the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, France) for the years 2009–2018, this paper explores the impact of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) on credit growth. Using panel data fixed effects methodology and controlling for endogeneity using two-step difference GMM estimators, our findings indicate that uncertainty in economic policies hampers the credit growth of European banks. Our bank type-based analyses indicate that the ...

Considering the banking regulatory differences between countries, we observe ...

How organizational and geographic complexity influence performance: Evidence from European banks

Publisher and Date:(Elsevier B.V., 2021)We empirically investigate how bank internationalization, organizational complexity, and geographical complexity stemming from foreign-affiliate type and geographic dispersion affect parent bank stability and profitability. We base our analysis on unique, hand-collected data for the worldwide locations of subsidiaries and branches of EU banks. Our results show that internationalization benefits bank stability by reducing default risk, and it is significantly associated with lower earnings volatility ...

The impact of economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks on bank credit
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Inc., 2021)This paper compares the effects of economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks on bank credit growth. Using a sample of 2439 banks from 19 countries for the period of 2010–2019, our findings indicate that economic uncertainty causes a significant decrease in overall bank credit growth while no such significant overall effect of geopolitical risks is documented. Further analysis on loan types shows that the highest negative impact of economic uncertainty is observed on corporate loans. Geopolitical ...

Loan loss provisioning of US banks: Economic policy uncertainty and discretionary behavior
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Inc, 2021)This paper examines the effect of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on loan loss provisions (LLP). Using a sample of 6384 US banks and yearly data from 2009 to 2019 and addressing endogeneity (GMM and IV estimations), the findings reveal that in times of higher economic policy uncertainty, banks tend to increase their loan loss provisioning. Considering the four components of EPU, the findings document that the majority of the explanatory power on loan loss provisions originates from news-based ...
