摘要：This paper examines the impact of capital adequacy and corruption on bank risk?taking behaviour in Ghana over the period 2008-2017. Using the system generalized method of moments (GMM) technique; we establish that increasing bank capital has a significant positive effect on banks’ risk-taking. This finding supports the “regulatory hypothesis”. In addition, the results show that corruption induces bank risk-taking, thus favoring the “sand the wheels” view in the corruption-development nexus. Based on the findings, we discuss relevant policy implications for regulators and bank managers.
