Abstract
The main purpose of this thesis is to emphasize the importance of managing credit risk in commercial banks. Therefore, I investigate one of the most important issues that appear in the banking sphere – the risk-return trade-off. The key suggestion of the study is examining the distribution of the return on shareholders’ average equity across banks using the quantile regression model. Accordingly, the following analytical conclusions are drawn from the empirical outcomes: First: the theoretically suggested positive risk-return relationship appears to be improper for less profitable banks. Second: the relationship between those two swapping components expresses different behavior along quantile values. And third: the graphical representation... (More)
