Optimal Risk-Return Trade-Offs of Commercial Banks: and the Suitability of Profitability Measures for Loan Portfolios (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)
This book criticizes the fact that profitability measures derived from capital market models such as the Sharpe ratio and the reward-to-VaR ratio are proposed for loan portfolios, although it is not proven whether their risk-return trade-offs are optimal for banks. The authors demonstrate that even the reward-to-VaR ratio, which is developed for valuating loan portfolios, can be highly misleading. They also show how market discipline, capital requirements, and insured deposits affect decision-making.
