“…In conclusion, our analysis suggests that, in advanced economies, the marginal benefits of bank capital decline substantially after 15-23 percent risk-weighted capital ratios: additional capital becomes less effective in avoiding banking crises (based on absorbing NPLs) and public 14 We recognize the incompleteness of the data especially in the case of European banks. The data on capital injections in European banks are taken from estimates by Fratianni and Marchionne (2013) recapitalizations. As discussed before, this abstracts from the costs associated with higher capital requirements.…”

This supports our previous results based on system averages.…”
