The government's role in government-owned banks
Abstract In this study, we reinvestigate the question of whether government banks are inferior to private banks. We use cross country data from 1993 to 2007 to trace the different types of government banks. These types comprise banks that acquire distressed banks, normal banks, or no banks at all. Contrary to common belief, the evidence shows that unless government banks are required to purchase a distressed bank because of political factors (the government's role), their performances are at par with that of private banks. This fact particularly holds true in countries with poor records on political rights and governance.
