A note on efficiency and solvency in banking

Applied Economics Letters, 2004, vol. 11, issue 3, 183-185

Abstract: Banking competition induces an efficient outcome but may also induce risk-taking behaviour that reduces solvency. This study examines the relationship between efficiency and solvency in banking at the empirical level. The empirical findings support that greater efficiency with respect to a risk-return frontier leads to a greater solvency level, but solvency is not related to efficiency. So, an increase in banking competition generates both more efficiency and solvency.
