The Theory of Bank Risk Taking and Stock Market

Early theoretical reviews on the topic Bank Risk- Taking and Stock Market are indeed fragile due to the existing risk incentive reports that discourage bank risk-taking rendering banks to be riskier as their stock markets become more concentrated. This paper, however, explores both mechanisms in literature where; on one side it describes a mechanism that operates to secure banks from the concentrated stock market. On the other side, it describes a mechanism that operates directly opposite to that and one that renders banks becoming riskier in their share markets. It includes sections of theoretical literature reviews on banks. Secondly, it constitutes the empirical literature review on banking and investment and their share markets. According to Allen and Gale (2000), the policy allows banks to earn monopoly benefits and therefore thrive in the share market.

Allen's study unveils the parameters used to determine the default risk of the banking assets. These studies usually share the assumption that optimal asset by bank allocations may be determined by sourcing the portfolio issue that takes the prices and the stock returns, (Bernstein, 2015). Empirical Relevance The literature reports on the relationship between the stock market and the level of banks' exposure to the risks. As showcased below, mixed findings are the result of the literature, (Seru, 2014). These studies unveil numerous specifications resulting in solid findings. Another study by De Nicolo' et. al. (2017) took an alternative approach to empirically represent the bank fragility. The competition in the banking industry which is described in relation to the variables for inflation. might respond to the growth opportunities such as population and business expansions.

A difference- in- difference (DD) approach is used to compare the change in risk of banks to the change in risk of a set of banks. The Idea following the study was done by Seru (2014) and Bernstein (2014) on innovation is that a comparison between the changes of the risk of banks to a set of banks who’s private to public transition decisions was plausibly driven by the same factors.
