Determinants of bank performance in OECD countries
| Resumo: | We examine the determinants of bank performance in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in the 2011–2019 period. We performed a regression analysis, running OLS, GLS and GLM models to identify the relevant variables and their impact on the Return on Assets ratio (ROA). Additionally, we also investigated the impact of supervision variables on banks’ performance. To testify the results’ robustness, we replicate the analysis winsorizing the dependent variable and some independent variables that had extreme values. We verified that size, leverage, assets quality and efficiency are factors that affect banks’ performance. Additionally, we observed that supervisory measures are crucial since: ROA tends to be higher in countries in which the Central Bank is in charge of the supervision role, in which supervisors can take legal action against external auditors for negligence and in which the supervisory authority is independent. Also, macroeconomic factors are significant for bank performance. |
