20.500.12556/RUL-146657 Corruption and non-performing loans This article empirically evaluates the impact of corruption on the level of non-performing loans (NPLs) using the international bank-level data, spanning over the period 2000e2016 and across 140 countries. We find a positive and statistically significant relationship between corruption and NPLs. We also analyze the channels through which cor- ruption affects NPLs. We find that the relationship between corruption and NPLs becomes more pronounced during and after the global financial crisis and is more pronounced for smaller banks. The association between corruption and NPLs is stronger in countries characterized by a high level of collectivism. The link between corruption and NPLs is higher where the legal environment is weak and where economies are market-based. banks credit corruption bank lending non-performing loans financial crisis corruption perception index economic development banke krediti korupcija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-06-05 14:27:21 2023-06-05 14:34:40 2023-06-15 11:19:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 240-259 iss. 4,. article no. 4 Vol. 24 Dec. 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 336.71 2335-4216 10.15458/2335-4216.1312 132056323 Corruption_and_Non-Performing_Loans.pdf Corruption_and_Non-Performing_Loans.pdf 1 BF06D2CA5C97B6A95C3780286260FEDC f3aa39c130543beaa9aaae1355c6e1a9ecc1c2a611177a7b24e8fbeae52f8c3a ede6a208-039c-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169881 https://www.ebrjournal.net/home/vol24/iss4/4/ 0 f541c4b4-039c-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169882 Ekonomska fakulteta Economic and business review 0 0 0
