Several rounds of banking reforms in China have aimed to increase the competitive condition and further enhance stability Chinese sector, while joint effects competition risk-taking behaviour on profitability sector not been studied well enough so far literature. The current study contributes empirical literature by testing impacts risk industry (state-owned, joint-stock city commercial banks) over period 2003–2011 under a one-step Generalized Method Moments (GMM) system estimator. results...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the determinants bank profitability in China. It examines effects inflation on profitability, while controlling for comprehensive bank‐specific and industry‐specific variables. Design/methodology/approach sample comprises a total 101 banks (five state‐owned banks, 12 joint‐stock commercial 84 city banks). period under consideration extends from 2003‐2009. two step generalized methods moments (GMM) estimators are applied.

This article examines the effect of GDP growth on bank profitability in China over period 2003–2009. The one-step system GMM estimator is used to test persistence Chinese banking industry. empirical findings suggest that cost efficiency positively related profitability, while lower can also be explained by higher taxes paid banks. In addition, there a negative relationship between and profitability. Furthermore, results show (1) industry significantly affected level non-performing loans, (2)...

Abstract Using a sample of Brazilian listed companies, our study investigates the directional cause–effect relationship between market structure, ESG performance, and firm efficiency under Stochastic Structural Relationship Programming (SSRP) model. Our empirical evidence is threefold. First, findings indicate that firms with better environmental performance are more efficient, whereas lower poorer corporate governance practices associated higher level efficiency. Second, suggests structure...

This paper investigates the inter-temporal relationship between banking profitability, competition and risk of a sample Chinese commercial banks by employing several profitability indicators using Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) under panel data framework over 2003–2009. The results support Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) theory which states that there is negative impact on bank profitability. We also find with higher normally operate in less competitive environment. have...

The current study contributes to the literature in efficiency analysis two ways: 1) we build on existing studies Dynamic Network Data Envelopment Analysis (DNDEA) by proposing a sequential structure incorporating dual-role characteristics of production factors; 2) initiate efforts complement proposal our innovative DNDEA through behavioural-causal analysis. this statistical is very important considering it does not only validate but also practice can be generalized future dealing with...

Financial distress is a research topic in finance that has attracted attention from academia following past financial crises.

Abstract This study investigates the causal relationship between financial innovation and economic growth in China, India, Pakistan over period of 1970–2016. Using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testing Granger causality‐based Error Correction Model (ECM), this finds that generally has a positive statistically significant impact on short‐run long‐run. These results show long‐run, monetary management credit flow to private sector play essential role growth. The trade openness...
