“…In addition, some researchers examine the impact of bank risk measures on the growth rate in deposits or on banks' interest expense. Imai (2008), Ioannidou and de Dreu (2010), Barajas and Catalan (2011), Murata and Hori (2011), Cubillas et al (2012), Karas et al (2012), Thiratanapong (2012), Arnold et al (2015), and Berger and Turk-Ariss (2015) are some of those researchers that used this methodology. For example, based on a total of 2038 banks that operate in the USA, 21 European countries, and in Switzerland, the subperiods 1997-2007 and 2008-2009, and using deposit growth as the dependent variable, it is stated that "we find significant depositor discipline prior to the crisis in both the US and EU… We also find that depositor discipline mostly decreased during the crisis, except for the case of small US banks" (Berger and Turk-Ariss, 2015).…”
