Nexus between bank capital and risk-taking behaviour: Empirical evidence from US commercial banks

The study aims to investigate the effect of conventional capital ratio, risk-based capital ratio, and capital buffer ratio on commercial bank risk-taking over the period from 2002 to 2019 using a two-step GMM method. The finding reveals that there is a positive relationship between traditional capit...
