The Journal of Central Banking Theory and Practice is a scientific and professional journal that the Central Bank of Montenegro publishes thrice a year. The journal has been published since 2012. The most stringent international standards are followed in the publication of papers and reviews which imply "double-blind" review.

Journal of Central Banking Theory and Practice is a scientific journal dedicated to publishing quality papers and disseminating original, relevant and applicable economic research. Scientific and professional papers that are published in the Journal of Central Banking Theory and Practice cover theoretical and practical aspects of central banking, monetary policy, including the supervision issues, as well as banking and management in central banks.

The purpose of the journal is to educate the general public about the key issues that the central bankers globally face, as well as about contemporary research and achievements in the field of central banking theory and practice.

Great strides have been made in the theory of bank technology in terms of explaining banks' comparative advantage in producing informationally intensive assets and financial services and in diversifying or offsetting a variety of risks. Great strides have also been made in explaining sub-par managerial performance in terms of agency theory and in applying these theories to analyze the particular environment of banking. In recent years, the empirical modeling of bank technology and the measurement of bank performance have begun to incorporate these theoretical developments and yield interesting insights that reflect the unique nature and role of banking in modern economies. This paper gives an overview of two general empirical approaches to measuring bank performance and discusses some of the applications of these approaches found in the literature.

Based on the 1996 Lionel Robbins Lectures, this readable book deals succinctly, in a nontechnical manner, with a wide variety of issues in monetary policy. The book also includes the author's suggested solution to an age-old problem in monetary theory: what it means for monetary policy to be "neutral."

This unit provides an introduction to Australian banking. It also explores issues relating to international banking and current developments in the international banking arena. Topics include bank risk management; asset and liability structures; securitisation; bank performance analysis, and the impact of cost of funds and capital adequacy provisions on bank lending policies. A consistent theme is that the functions and services provided by banks are influenced by the theory of finance, technology, government regulation and the forces of competition.

The International Journal of Central Banking (IJCB) is an initiative of the central banking community. Published bimonthly, the journal features articles on central bank theory and practice, with a special emphasis on research relating to monetary and financial stability.

My research has focused on incorporating endogenous risk-taking into the analysis of banking production, which uncovers evidence of large economies of scale across banks of all sizes with the largest economies at the largest financial institutions - a result that suggests proposed restrictions to limit the size of financial institutions, if effective, may put large banks at a competitive disadvantage in global markets where competitors are not similarly constrained. Moreover, size restrictions may not be effective since they work against market forces and create incentives for firms to avoid them. Avoiding the restrictions could thereby push risk-taking outside of the more regulated financial sector without necessarily reducing systemic risk. I have also examined the role of the too-big-to-fail policy in contributing to measured scale economies at the largest financial institutions.

Using stochastic frontier estimation, I have developed a novel technique to decompose banks' ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans into three components: first, a minimum ratio that represents best-practice lending given the volume and composition of a bank's loans, the average contractual interest rate charged on these loans, and market conditions such as the average GDP growth rate and market concentration; second, a ratio, the difference between the bank's observed ratio of nonperforming loans, adjusted for statistical noise, and the best-practice minimum ratio, that represents the bank's proficiency at loan making; third, a ratio that captures statistical noise. The best-practice ratio, the ratio a bank would experience if were fully efficient at credit-risk evaluation and loan monitoring, represents the inherent credit risk of the loan portfolio. For publicly traded banks, the proficiency of loan making is positively associated with market value for all banks; however, inherent credit is negatively associated with market value at smaller banks and positively associated with the market value at the largest banks. By rewarding higher credit risk at these large institutions, capital market discipline appears to undermine financial stability through credit risk-taking. (paper)

We develop a novel technique to decompose banks' ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans into two components: first, a minimum ratio that represents best-practice lending given the volume and composition of a bank's loans, the average contractual interest rate charged on these loans, and market conditions such as the average GDP growth rate and market concentration; and, second, a ratio, the difference between the bank's observed ratio of nonperforming loans, adjusted for statistical noise, and the best-practice minimum ratio, that represents the bank's proficiency at loan making. The best-practice ratio of nonperforming loans, the ratio a bank would experience if it were fully efficient at credit-risk evaluation and loan monitoring, represents the inherent credit risk of the loan portfolio and is estimated by stochastic frontier techniques.

We apply the technique to 2013 data on top-tier U.S. bank holding companies. We divide them into five size groups. The largest banks with consolidated assets exceeding $250 billion experience the highest ratio of nonperformance among the five groups. Moreover, the inherent credit risk of their lending is the highest among the five groups. On the other hand, their inefficiency at lending is one of the lowest among the five. Thus, the high ratio of nonperformance of the largest financial institutions appears to result from lending to riskier borrowers, not inefficiency at lending. Small community banks under $1 billion also exhibit higher inherent credit risk than all other size groups except the largest banks. In contrast, their loan-making inefficiency is highest among the five size groups.

By eliminating the influence of statistical noise, stochastic frontier techniques permit the estimation of the best-practice value of a firm's investment opportunities and the magnitude of a firm's systematic failure to achieve its best-practice market value - a gauge of the magnitude of agency costs. These frontiers are estimated from the performance of all firms in the industry and, thus, capture best-practice performance that is, unlike Tobin's q ratio, independent of the managerial decisions of any particular firm.

The unique capital structure of commercial banking - funding production with demandable debt that participates in the economy's payments system - affects various aspects of banking. It shapes banks' comparative advantage in providing financial products and services to informationally opaque customers, their ability to diversify credit and liquidity risk, and how they are regulated, including the need to obtain a charter to operate and explicit and implicit federal guarantees of bank liabilities to reduce the probability of bank runs. These aspects of banking affect a bank's choice of risk vs. expected return, which, in turn, affects bank performance. Banks have an incentive to reduce risk to protect the valuable charter from episodes of financial distress and they also have an incentive to increase risk to exploit the cost-of-funds subsidy of mispriced deposit insurance. These are contrasting incentives tied to bank size. Measuring the performance of banks and its relationship to size requires untangling cost and profit from decisions about risk versus expected-return because both cost and profit are functions of endogenous risk-taking. This chapter gives an overview of two general empirical approaches to measuring bank performance and discusses some of the applications of these approaches found in the literature. One application explains how better diversification available at a larger scale of operations generates scale economies that are obscured by higher levels of risk-taking. Studies of banking cost that ignore endogenous risk-taking find little evidence of scale economies at the largest banks while those that control for this risk-taking find large scale economies at the largest banks - evidence with important implications for regulation.

Self regulation encouraged by market discipline constitutes a key component of the third pillar of Basel II. But high-risk investment strategies may maximize the expected value of some banks. In these cases, does market discipline encourage risk-taking that undermines bank stability in economic downturns? This paper reviews the literature on corporate control in banking. It reviews the techniques for assessing bank performance, interaction between regulation and the federal safety net with market discipline on risk-taking incentives and stability, and sources of market discipline, including ownership structure, capital market discipline, product market competition, labor market competition, boards of directors, and compensation.

Finally, this book is highly recommended for regulators, market players, customers, suppliers, depositors, and all stakeholders because it delivers very important assessments and results on factors affecting the slower growth of Islamic banking in Indonesia. Despite some limitations in its scope and analysis, the book is quite comprehensive in answering the two puzzles noted earlier, from both economic and noneconomic perspec- tives, and both locally and internationally. International Islamic nance stakeholders can also benet from the book, especially from its assessment of Malaysian, Bangladeshi, and other Asian banks." 006ab0faaa
