Do family ownership and control influence banks performance and risk-taking? A cross-country analysis of emerging economies
Do family ownership and control influence banks performance and risk-taking? A cross-country analysis of emerging economies
This study examines how family ownership and family-aligned board and management as well as government and foreign shareholdings influence profitability, valuation, and credit risk of banks in emerging economies. It is based on fixed effect regressions to analyse an unbalanced panel dataset on 546 bank-year observations from Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Malaysia, and Indonesia covering a period of 7 years (2009-2015). Overall, the estimation results suggest that family ownership and family-aligned board and management are positively associated with bank performance and negatively associated with credit risk. In addition, ownership concentration has an inverse relationship with bank profitability and valuation. Moreover, foreign ownership and government shareholding show a positive association with bank performance and a negative association with credit risk. Altogether, the study results are consistent with the arguments of stewardship theory and resource-based view. The estimation results have policy implications for corporate governance reform in relation to family ownership and control as well as government and foreign ownerships in concentrated banking systems in emerging economies.

Abstract
This study examines how family ownership and family-aligned board and management as well as government and foreign shareholdings influence profitability, valuation, and credit risk of banks in emerging economies. It is based on fixed effect regressions to analyse an unbalanced panel dataset on 546 bank-year observations from Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Malaysia, and Indonesia covering a period of 7 years (2009-2015). Overall, the estimation results suggest that family ownership and family-aligned board and management are positively associated with bank performance and negatively associated with credit risk. In addition, ownership concentration has an inverse relationship with bank profitability and valuation. Moreover, foreign ownership and government shareholding show a positive association with bank performance and a negative association with credit risk. Altogether, the study results are consistent with the arguments of stewardship theory and resource-based view. The estimation results have policy implications for corporate governance reform in relation to family ownership and control as well as government and foreign ownerships in concentrated banking systems in emerging economies.
