This study is to investigate the bank-specific, industry-specific and macroeconomic determinants that would affect the bank's profitability, by using the traditional structure - conduct - performance (SCP) hypothesis as the empirical framework. The sample period is rom 2008 Q1 to 2015 Q3. However, no evidences support the SCP hypothesis. Moreover, this paper explores the differences in the determinants of profitability between the banks that belong to financial holding companies and the independent banks. The empirical results show that the determinants of profitability between the two types of banks are different. For example: equity ratio, size and ownership have significant impact on ROE for those banks that are held by financial holding companies, but there are no significant impacts for independent banks. |
