Notes: Z-SCORE is the measure of bank stability (see equation in Section 4.2); BANK-SPECIFIC is a vector of bank-specific factors, such as: GRLO: growth of loans, reflecting credit policy; ROA: return on assets, reflecting the profitability of bank; ETA: equity to total assets, capturing the solvency bank and reflecting capital strength of bank; LTA: loans to total assets, capturing the volume of credit market; DL: deposits to loans, reflecting the intermediation cost; CTA: cost of total assets, reflecting a common indicator of bank’s efficiency or volume of intermediation cost; TA: total assets, controlling for size of banks. See Table 1 for more details about the description of the variables; own calculations upon BilBank 2000 database from ABI (Associazione Bancaria Italiana); standard errors in brackets; *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01
