II: Comments I: Summary
Topic • Interesting and well-concerned • -are not clarified (enough) issues with • mixed results- have important managerial • implications and policy perspectives • Interesting and well-concerned • -are not clarified (enough) issues with mixed results- have important managerial implications and policy perspectives
Literature • Well-documented and up-to-date
Hypotheses - Financial development improvement hypothesis - External capital dependence hypothesis
Data and sample • - from 1,669 banks / 190 countries • to 521 banks / 42 countries (p.8)- from 934 banks / 75 countries • to 266 banks / 54 countries (p.11) • Which one is true for the empirical sample?
Data and sample • - Possible sample bias? • - No banks from China, Korea or • Hong Kong?
Variables • - Banks belonging to different countries • have different Rmt's in eq. (1)?- In eq. (3), are the portfolio returns (Rpt) • equally- or value-weighted?- Is Political Connection properly proxied • by state ownership? • - Banks belonging to different countries have different Rmt's in eq. (1)?- In eq. (3), are the portfolio returns (Rpt) equally- or value-weighted?- Is Political Connection properly proxied by state ownership?
Results • - How to set up the Rmt's for full sample, developed • countries, and developing countries, respectively • (Table 3)? • - For developed countries, state ownership positively • affects ROA; • -For developing countries, state ownership negatively • affects ROA.This seems to contradict the experiences of Taiwan (and China)?
Results • - No explanation on the insignificant • interaction of financial development and • political connection on ROA or NPL for • developing countries?- Possible time lag effects (on ROA and • NPL)?
Conclusions • - More managerial/policy implications • could be drawn from the empirical • findings • - Strategic actions for banks falling into • various categories formulated by • financial development, political • connection and developed/developing • countries
