“…The empirical results show that governance quality index has marginal significant positive impact on bank performance. This finding is consistent with many studies (for example; Williams and Nguyen, 2005;Choi and Hassan, 2005;Laeven and Levine, 2009). Furthermore, the effect of governance index components on performance components is examined separately.…”

This paper examines the effects of corporate governance on bank performance in China over the period [1995][1996][1997][1998][1999][2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008]. Bank performance has improved significantly and the mean profit efficiency level is estimated at 61 per cent. The results suggest that differences in corporate governance have significant impacts on bank performance: banks with majority foreign ownership are most profitable while banks with majority state ownership are most unprofitable. We find no evidence that foreign minority ownership in domestic banks improves performance. Banks with more dispersed ownership are found to be more profit efficient.

“…Thirdly, government ownership of banks is prevalent in the East Asian banking system as highlighted in studies by Laeven and Levine (2009), Williams and Nguyen (2005) and Micco et al (2007). The "political" theory links government ownership of institutions to inefficient allocation of resources allocation.…”

“…The "political" theory links government ownership of institutions to inefficient allocation of resources allocation. Existing studies confirm that government ownership is associated to lower performance (La Porta et al, 2002), lower efficiency (Williams and Nguyen, 2005) and higher risk (Wu and Bowe, 2010). Given that government owned banks are more likely to be bailed out in the event of a financial distress compared to others, they may be less sensitive to external pressure.…”

The third pillar of the Basel II highlights the role of market discipline in easing the existing pressure on traditional monitoring measures like capital requirement and government supervision. This study test the effectiveness of market discipline in inducing prudential risk management practices among the East Asian banks over the 1995 to 2005 period. Market discipline is measured using information disclosure and interbank deposit holdings. We find that only the latter is an effective market discipline tool. However, the former becomes effective when market concentration is higher. We find that government owned, foreign owned and recapilatised banks are subject to market disciplining when disclosure in taken account but the opposite is true when interbank deposits is taken into account. Finally, we find that banks that disclose more risk related information hold more capital against their non-performing loan. The implications of the findings are discussed.
