Determinants of Chinese Listed Commercial Banks’ Profitability—Under A GMM Approach

Zhilin Wu and Hui Song

Abstract—This paper investigates macroeconomic determinants of listed Chinese commercial banks’ profitability based on the period from 2007 to 2016. We use the system generalized method of moment (GMM). The estimation results are different from earlier studies of bank profitability on both international banks and Chinese banks which suggests that attention should turn to Chinese special economic environment. Generally, bank profitability is affected by macro and bank-specific factors.

Index Terms—Chinese economy, bank profitability, GMM JEL classification number: G21.
