本研究目的是探討銀行內部因素、產業因素和總體經濟因素對臺灣銀行業的獲利能力是否有影響,並透過傳統結構─行為─績效(SCP)理論作為實證分析方法。數據採用季資料,時間範圍涵蓋2008年第一季至2015年第三季。而本研究實證結果並沒有證據能支持SCP假說。本文並進一步探討金控體系銀行和非金控體系銀行間影響獲利能力因素的差異性。比較金控體系銀行及非金控體系銀行,實證結果發現顯著影響獲利能力的因素有所不同。例如:金控銀行的權益比率、規模大小及是否為公股銀行對ROE有顯著影響,但在非金控銀行並沒有顯著影響。而在總體經濟因素方面,則無論是全樣本下銀行、金控體系下銀行以及非金控體系下銀行,消費者物價指數和經濟成長率皆對ROE產生顯著影響,代表著臺灣銀行產業容易受到國際事件及景氣循環變動等因素的影響。
This study is to investigate the bank-specific, industry-specific and macroeconomic determinants that would affect the Taiwain bank’s profitability, by using the traditional structure - conduct - performance (SCP) hypothesis as the empirical framework. The sample period is from 2008 Q1 to 2015 Q3. However, no evidences support the SCP hypothesis. Moreover, this paper explores the differences in the determinants of profitability between the banks that belong to financial holding companies and the independent banks. The empirical results show that the determinants of profitability between the two types of banks are different. For example: equity ratio, size and ownership have significant impact on ROE for those banks that are held by financial holding companies, but there are no significant impacts for independent banks. For macroeconomic determinants, both of consumer price index and growth rate of GNP significantly influence on ROE, indicating that Taiwan’s banks are vulnerable to factors of international events and cyclical fluctuation.
