International banking, a theoretical framework

Alfred Slager

Chapter 3 in The Internationalization of Banks, 2006, pp 42-67 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract What are the specific characteristics of internationally active banks? This is the research subject of international financial intermediation, the theoretical foundation for banks. Financial intermediation exists because risks and costs related to financial intermediation functions are expected to be lower when organized by a bank. A review of the literature is presented. Subsequently, what incentives can a bank have to pursue internationalization? Incentives to internationalize are reviewed and clustered, and their relative importance as drivers to internationalize assessed.
