This study examines how different bank regulations impact risk in the banking sector. It finds that capital regulation, activities restrictions, and greater supervisory power are associated with lower bank risk, as measured by a dependent risk variable. The analysis uses a system GMM estimation on panel data from 31 countries over 182 observations, controlling for bank-specific characteristics like size and financial structure. Lagged risk is a strong predictor of current risk.
