Abstract

We rigorously investigate the multifaceted effects of financial regulation and supervision on bank stability using panel data for 2210 banks across 47 European countries over the period 2000–2016. The CAMELS rating system is applied to quantile regressions. We find that greater capital regulation is positively associated with bank stability, whilst tighter restrictions, deposit insurance and excess of supervision appear to exert an adverse effect on bank stability. These effects are more pronounced among banks at a higher level of stability. It also appears that commercial banks, smaller banks and banks in emerging countries are relatively sensitive to regulatory shocks.
