Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project empirically revealed that the financial intermediaries’ risk taking behavior in the low interest rate environment. Focusing on bank lending among their risk taking behavior, we found that banks whose capital was not enough avoided taking a risk, while banks had a high percentage of non-performing loans kept taking risks by lending further between late 1990s and early 2000s. The banks had a high percentage of non-performing loans also kept taking risks in middle 2000s. Banks in rural areas was likely to take risks than ones in urban areas.
