No 540, Working Papers Series from Central Bank of Brazil, Research Department

Abstract: The substantial leverage of financial institutions is indicated as a factor that is relevant for explaining the latest global financial crisis. However, the concept of leverage is not new. The connections of these objects of study with the theme of banking leverage are listed in this present work. Through a sample of 160 articles from major journals in the areas of finance and economics, the present study is a bibliographic review to support studies on bank performance and the economies of countries. In particular, this paper seeks to contribute with a systematic survey of the characteristics of the articles related to the theme of banking leverage, using science mapping with bibliometric method. The results indicated gaps for future research involving, for example, the need for further studies related to emerging countries and indicated influential articles with a strong network of citations in clusters related to the topic of leverage.
