Competitive pressure has an impact on bank risk-taking, but the effect depends on each institution’s characteristics, research published by the Bank of England finds.

Sebastian de-Ramon, William Francis and Michael Straughan employ quantile regression, which they say generates a more detailed picture than simple regressions. This has “important implications” for assessing the relationship between competition and risk at the banking sector level, they say in the working paper.
