Global Business and Economics Review (GBER), Vol. 27, No. 3, 2022

Abstract: This paper studies the relationship between banking capital and performance through a systematic review. We perform the meta-analysis technique on 66 papers for a 57-year period that spans from 1958 to 2015. Using the random effect model and the Hedges' g measure, the results show that the capital structure does not affect banking performance, which confirms the Modigliani and Miller (1958) findings. However, the meta-regression indicates that the relationship between banking capital structure and performance is significantly associated to the proxy of capital structure, the performance indicator, the banking type (conventional versus Islamic) and the context of the study (developed versus emerging). Finally, the results indicate that Islamic banks' performance is not affected by capital structure.
