Abstract

This study develops and estimates a dynamic panel model to examine the simultaneous relationship between capital regulations and bank risk-taking in the Bangladeshi banking sector. Furthermore, the study investigates the impact of capital regulations and bank risk-taking on performance. The study investigates on 30 commercial banks of Bangladesh over the period 2002-2016 using two-step system GMM estimator. The study also uses two-stage least squares regression to check the robustness of the findings. The empirical evidence is found showing the significant negative association between capital regulations and risk-taking simultaneously. The study also finds evidence that there is a significant positive impact of capital regulations on bank performance. In contrast, the findings show that bank risk-taking has significant negative impacts on performance. The study expects that the results of this study will add value to the existing literature and will be significant for the future researcher and policymaker to decide in this regard.
