Description
Summary:Do bigger banks take on more risks? Literature that delves on the relationship between bank size and risk remains to be inconclusive. Using financial statement data of 9 publicly listed banks in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), the researchers investigated whether bigger banks in the Philippines take on more risk compared to smaller banks. Using a risk index that captures profitability, volatility, and leverage, the researchers find strong evidence that larger banks in the Philippines take on less risk compared to their smaller counterparts.
