Abstract

Based on a broad set of 16 listed commercial banks in China during the period 1999–2013, this paper makes the empirical analysis of the relationship between the development of off-balance sheet (OBS) activities and the banks' overall risk, bankruptcy risk and credit risk. Innovation of this article is mainly reflected in: (1) Considering different types of risk variables, it gives a more comprehensive disclosure of the bank's risk characteristics. (2) Dividing the research object into joint-stock commercial banks and state-owned commercial banks, and get some new test results: The development of OBS business of state-owned commercial banks increases the overall risk, bankruptcy risk and credit risk significantly. While in joint-stock commercial banks sample, the development of OBS business reduces the overall risk significantly.
