The effects of risks and environmental factors on bank cost efficiency: A study in East Asia and Pacific region

Abstract: The interrelationship between risks and bank efficiency has received much attention in banking literature for years, especially after the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008. This study collected and analyzed the data of 247 banks of 12 developed and developing economies in East Asia and Pacific area over the 2003-2012 period to find the empirical evidence for that relationships. Using a stochastic frontier approach (SFA) to estimate bank cost efficiency, we found that … Show more

“…In the banking sector, Barry et al (2016) argue that, under the alignment hypothesis, banks with controlled ownership might leave less scope for managers to engage in lending corruption. Unite and Sullivan (2003) show controlling shareholders have strong incentives to monitor bank management through the tight oversight of lending practices, operational efficiency, and risk management (see also Phan et al, 2018). Hence, we expect that the incentive alignment hypothesis argues for a positive relation in which controlling shareholders have little incentive to conceal information and are willing to disseminate firm‐specific information, as follows.…”

“…With this growing literature on ownership structure in developing economies, some studies go further to compare the corporate performance in different ownership structures but are inconclusive (see Phan, Daly, & Doan, 2018; Wei, Xie, & Zhang, 2005; Yu, 2013). Some parts of the existing literature imply that firms in economies with less stable governments are likely to be less efficient and more vulnerable to political institutions' outcomes (e.g., Julio & Yook, 2012; Micco, Panizza, & Yanez, 2007).…”

“…The interrelationship between risks and bank efficiency has received much attention in banking literature, especially after the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2008 Great Recession (Phan et al, 2018;Asongu & Odhiambo, 2019). The hypotheses offer by Berger and DeYoung (1997) in their seminal paper explain the contradicting views on the effect of efficiency and risk in the banking sector.…”
