Abstract

Abstract: Reserve requirements act as an implicit tax on the banking industry that can affect their performance. Using bank-level data for 250 firm-years in the Asia Pacific region during the period 2007-2012 and panel data model through fixed effect regression with robust function, this paper analyzes how tax policy, bank characteristics, and macroeconomic environment affect the bank profitability. This study controls for the firm characteristics such as bank size, bank liquidity, and overhead, while the GDP variable to control the country characteristic. This paper confirms some of the findings in the previous studies that the implicit tax policy (reserve requirements) has a positive effect on bank profitability that is proxied with return on assets. While the explicit tax policy does not affect it. This study also gives evidence that the role of foreign bank ownership structure of both the reserve requirements and the explicit tax is higher than the foreign non-banks.Abstrak: Persyaratan cadangan bertindak sebagai pajak implisit pada industri perbankan yang dapat mempengaruhi kinerja mereka.
