The paper examines the effects of bank diversification on risk using a global sample from 95 countries. We find evidence that diversification will mitigate the banking risk in high-income countries, European or America region, whereas increase the likelihood of bank failures in median-low-income countries. Second, when banks have relatively excessive non-interest income,they have fewer potential diversification gains. Finally, we also find that a better country's law and bureaucracy will help improve the relationship between bank diversification and risk, but stronger creditor rights' protection and more regulatory restrictions on bank activities will worsen them. |
