This paper empirically analyzes the relation between banking risk taking and the three pillars of the New Basel Capital Accord (i.e., capital regulatory oversight, supervisory oversight, and market discipline). Using a new database covering 95 countries, we find that developing countries with greater capital regulatory oversight and developed countries with greater market discipline have a lower bank risk taking. Second, the greater quality of the bureaucracy and corruption lead to lower bank risk in developing countries. Finally, we also find that stronger creditor rights will help improve the relation between bank risk and the three pillars of Basel II in developing countries, whereas worsen them in industries countries. These findings show that the same regulation has different effects on bank risk taking depending on the countries’ government governance. |
