Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of diversified income structures on the risk of commercial banks in China. We selected 1111 samples of 101 different banks of China (including large and small banks) between 2006 and 2016. A two-step system Generalized Method of Moments is utilized, which does not need to know the exact distribution information of random error term to evaluate the diversified income of Chinese commercial banking industry’s effect on risk. The final results show that the operating stability of the banking industry in China will decrease when the share of non-interest income or diversification level increase. This is quite different from previous studies in which researchers thought that a diversified strategy could reduce banking risks. The references for the policy makers are provided from intermediary business and financial supervision.
