Capital regulation and ownership structure on bank risk

Purpose – This paper aims to examine the impact of capital regulation, ownership structure and the degree of ownership concentration on the risk of commercial banks. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses a sample of 565 commercial banks from 52 countries over the period of 2011-2015. A dy...
