Does Competition Reduce the Risk of Bank Failure?

Abstract: A large theoretical literature shows that competition reduces banks' franchise values and induces them to take more risk. Recent research contradicts this result: When banks charge lower rates, their borrowers have an incentive to choose safer investments, so they will in turn be safer. However, this argument does not take into account the fact that lower rates also reduce the banks' revenues from non-defaulting loans. This paper shows that when this effect is taken into account, a U-shaped relationship betwee… Show more

“…The first column of the table reports the regression results using the efficiency-adjusted Lerner index as a measure of competition. The efficiency-adjusted Lerner index and its square are significantly negative, suggesting that an increase in market power causes a decline in the banking risk, which is supportive of the franchise value paradigm instead of a U-shaped relationship proposed by Martinez-Miera and Repullo (2010). Our results are consistent with the results of Jimenez et al (2013) 28 .…”

“…This relation was confirmed by several other studies (Demsetz et al, 1996;Galloway et al, 1997;Gan, 2004;Gonzalez, 2005;). Saunders and Wilson (2001), Jones et al (2011), Martinez-Miera andRepullo (2010) and Niu (2012), find a non-linear relation under shape (U) between the Charter value and risk-taking.…”
