“…Empirically, our result is consistent with Pasiouras (2008a) and Luo et al's (2016) findings on global banking industries. Hirtle et al (2016) found similar results in the US bank-holding companies. Official supervisory power is not significantly related to banks' scale efficiency.…”

The banking industry is an essential financial intermediary, thus the efficient operation of banks is vital for economic development and social welfare. However, the 2008 global financial crisis triggered a reconsideration of the banking systems, as well as the role of government intervention. The literature has paid little attention to the banking industry in the Asia-Pacific region in the context of bank efficiency. This study employs double bootstrap data envelopment analysis to measure bank efficiency and examine the relationship between regulation, supervision, and state ownership in commercial banks in the Asia-Pacific region for the period 2005 to 2014. Our results indicate that excluding off-balance sheet activities in efficiency estimations lead to underestimating of the pure technical efficiency, while overestimating the scale efficiency of banks in the Asia-Pacific region. Cross-country comparisons reveal that Australian banks exhibit the highest levels of technical efficiency, while Indonesian banks exhibit the lowest average. Our bootstrap regression results suggest that bank regulation and supervision are positively related to bank technical efficiency, while state ownership is not significantly related to bank efficiency. Furthermore, our findings show that tighter regulation and supervision are significantly related to higher efficiency for small and large-sized banks.

We investigate the role that regulatory strictness plays on the enforcement of financial reporting transparency in the U.S. banking industry. Using a novel measure of regulatory strictness in the enforcement of capital adequacy, we show that strict regulators are more likely to enforce restatements of banks' call reports. Further, we find that the effect of regulatory strictness on accounting enforcement is strongest in periods leading up to economic downturns and for banks with riskier asset portfolios. Overall, the results from our study indicate that regulatory oversight plays an important role in enforcing financial reporting transparency, particularly in periods leading up to economic crises. We interpret this evidence as inconsistent with the idea that *

“…Hirtle, Kovner, and Plosser (2016) find that modern banks that receive more regulatory scrutiny tend to have more conservative loan loss provisioning practices. Thus, both their results and our results suggest that one channel through which examiners played a role is through the managing of losses.…”

“…These studies, however, do not provide evidence about whether and how this information is used by supervisors or markets to affect bank behavior. 1 Other studies have found that banks subject to more intensive examinations tend to have lower loan delinquency rates (Rezende and Wu 2014;Hirtle, Kovner, and Plosser 2016), but the mechanism by which this happens remains unclear.…”
