Risk-Taking, Concentration, and Bank Performance: Evidence from Emerging Economies

摘要：

This paper investigates the relationship between risk-taking,concentration,and bank performance in the context of emerging economies.Using a unique dataset of BRIC banks over the period 2003 10,our results lend support to the ”quiet life” hypothesis that banks tend to operate inefficiently in a concentrated market.Moreover,efficient banks take a lower level of risks.Data also suggest that Chinese banks and Brazilian banks are more efficient,indicating that these countries have more favourable institutional environments.
