Note(s): ***, ** and * indicate significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively. The models are estimated using the fixed-effect method, and standard errors are corrected using the Driscoll–Kraay method. It accounts for heteroscedasticity, cross-section dependence and serial correlation

The results for association between shadow banking growth and banking stability is presented using Log of Bank Z score (BankZscore) as the dependent variable. The explanatory variables include the NBFI growth measured as the growth rate of the ratio of OFI financial assets to total financial assets (YOYOFI/TFA), yoy growth of financial assets of EF2 (YOYEF2) and growth rate of the ratio of financial assets of EF2 to financial assets of total economic function (YOYEF2/TEF). Bank-specific variables include bank concentration of three largest banks (Bank3Conc), bank concentration of five largest banks (Bank5Conc), bank cost-to-income ratio (BankC_I), bank overhead cost to total assets (Banko_hcost/TA), bank net interest margin (BankNIM) and bank capital adequacy ratio (BankCRAR). Macro-economic variables include GDP, Inflation, StockTr, Liquidity, ratio of outstanding public debt to GDP (OSpublicDebt), World Governance Index (WGI) and crisis dummy
