Title The influence of the European Central Bank's monetary policy on banks' behavior
Summary I carry out empirical analysis to identify bank-specific factors and macroeconomic determinants that influence Euro Area banks’ profitability. After the identification of such variables, I aim to reveal whether the European Central Bank has any monetary policy tool to influence banks’ profitability either directly or indirectly through any of the uncovered determinants. From a policy point of view, it is very important to see clearly whether ultra-lax monetary policy erodes banks’ profitability and whether eroded profitability harms the monetary transmission mechanism. Additionally to existing literature, I include external financial equilibrium and expectations formulated by financial markets to my model and use a longer and broader dataset for the Euro Area as a whole.
