Ownership structure and bank risk-taking: empirical evidence from Tunisian banks
by Atiyet Ben Amor
Afro-Asian J. of Finance and Accounting (AAJFA), Vol. 7, No. 3, 2017

Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of ownership structure on bank insolvency risk. Panel data regression analysis is applied to a sample of 18 Tunisian banks during the 2011-2015 periods. The results show that concentrated ownership and state ownership reduce banks' risk taking, while the presence of institutional investors and foreign ownership encourages banks to take more risk.
