The Impact Of Non Interest Income On Bank Risk In Australia, Barry Williams
The Impact Of Non Interest Income On Bank Risk In Australia, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
Background: The last two decades has seen bank revenue evolve away from the ‘traditional intermediation model’ towards increased income from non interest income.
The Chicken Or The Egg? The Trade-Off Between Bank Fee Income And Net Interest Margins, Barry Williams, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
The Chicken Or The Egg? The Trade-Off Between Bank Fee Income And Net Interest Margins, Barry Williams, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Barry Williams
This study considers the time series relationship between bank fee income and bank net interest margins in Australia, applying panel vector autoregressions to a unique, hand-collected dataset. Increases in bank fee income are being used to supplement decreases in net interest margins. The increase in magnitude of fee income associated with reductions in margin income is smaller than the decrease in net interest margins, resulting in a net wealth transfer favouring users of bank services; although not all users of bank services gained and/or gained equally. The overall increase in fee income is marginally greater that the reduction in margin …
The Impact Of Non Interest Income On Bank Risk In Australia, Barry Williams
The Impact Of Non Interest Income On Bank Risk In Australia, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
This paper considers the relationship between bank revenue composition and bank risk in Australia, using data drawn from Australian bank confidential regulatory returns. It is found that those banks with lower levels of non interest income and higher revenue concentration are less risky, contrary to mean-variance portfolio theory but consistent with previous international evidence. Decreasing returns to scale in bank risk is found, with results suggesting that the major Australian banks have reached the scale point where size is risk increasing. Non interest income is found to be risk increasing, but some evidence is found that trading and investment income …
What Determines Differences In Foreign Bank Efficiency? Australian Evidence, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
What Determines Differences In Foreign Bank Efficiency? Australian Evidence, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
This study examines the factors that determine differences in efficiency of foreign banks in the host market (Australia). The impact of home market, host market and parent bank characteristics are considered within the frameworks offered by comparative advantage and new trade theories. Parametric distance functions are used to estimate the efficiency of foreign banks in Australia, and the robustness of model specification is tested using both general-to-specific modelling and extreme bounds analysis. It is found that following clients reduces the efficiency of profit creation. Incumbent bank's market share acts as a barrier to entry, while parent bank profits do not …
Bank Risk And Return: The Impact Of Bank Non-Interest Income, Barry Williams, Laurie Prather
Bank Risk And Return: The Impact Of Bank Non-Interest Income, Barry Williams, Laurie Prather
Barry Williams
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider the impact on bank risk of portfolio diversification between traditional margin income and fee-based income for banks operating in Australia.Design/methodology/approach – Considering several performance variables, this analysis compares the benefits of diversification across different bank types relative to margin income and fee income. Further, regression analysis considers bank risk and revenue concentration.Findings – This paper documents that fee-based income is riskier than margin income but offers diversification benefits to bank shareholders. While improving bank risk-return trade-off, these benefits are of second order importance compared to the large negative impact of …
Foreign Bank Efficiency In Australia: What Makes A Difference?, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
Foreign Bank Efficiency In Australia: What Makes A Difference?, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that affect differences in measured efficiency of foreign-owned banks operating in Australia. The relevance of both comparative advantage theory and new trade theory to multinational banking in Australia will be tested.
Design/methodology/approach – A three stage research method is employed. First, estimates of foreign bank efficiency are drawn from a larger sample of domestic and foreign banks in Australia. Efficiency is estimated using parametric distance functions, applying several different specifications of inputs and outputs. Second, factor analysis is used to estimate a series of common factors drawn from …

The Chicken Or The Egg? The Trade-Off Between Bank Non Interest Income And Net Interest Margins, Barry Williams, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Barry Williams
This study considers the time series relationship between bank non interest income and bank net interest margins in Australia using panel vector autoregressions. It is found that increases in bank non interest income are being used to supplement decreases in net interest margins, but that the magnitude of the increase in non interest income is smaller than the decrease in net interest margins. It is also found that increases in non interest income predate declines in margin income, suggesting that Australian banks were pro-active in the process of disintermediation. The agency risks of increased bank non interest income are explored …
Characteristics Determining The Efficiency Of Foreign Banks In Australia, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
Characteristics Determining The Efficiency Of Foreign Banks In Australia, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
The factors determining foreign bank efficiency are investigated using a three stage research method. It is found that host market incumbency reduces efficiency of foreign banks in Australia, resulting in over use of inputs. Factors underlying the limited global advantage hypothesis of Berger, et al. (2000) are identified, in that nationality specific factors represented by dummy variables are not significant once other relevant effects are controlled for. Parent profitability is not fomad to result in increased host nation efficiency, while parent credit rating effects are mixed. Some evidence is presented that banks from more financially sophisticated nations are more efficient. …

Factors Determining Net Interest Margins In Australia: Domestic And Foreign Banks, Barry Williams
Factors Determining Net Interest Margins In Australia: Domestic And Foreign Banks, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
This study tests the application of the Ho and Saunders (1981) model of bank net interest margins (NIMs), and its subsequent developments, using Australian data. The core elements of this model apply in Australia. Bank market power is found to increase NIMs, consistent with McShane and Sharpe (1985), with evidence of bank buying market share and mispricing for risk. Operating costs also have an important role in determining NIMs, together with implied payments and management quality. Bank NIMs are found to have fallen over the study period.
The Defensive Expansion Approach To Multinational Banking: Evidence To Date, Barry Williams
The Defensive Expansion Approach To Multinational Banking: Evidence To Date, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
This paper integrates the defensive expansion hypothesis in multinational banking with the internalisation approach to the multinational enterprise. This framework is then used to structure a review of the literature to date regarding the proposition that multinational banks follow their clients abroad, otherwise called the defensive expansion hypothesis. Both theoretical and empirical issues relevant to the study of the defensive expansion hypothesis are canvassed. The paper concludes that the defensive expansion hypothesis is best modelled using firm level data, and that investment measures are a preferred proxy for following clients. Furthermore, studies considering the defensive expansion hypothesis should control for …
