[[alternative]]The Impacts of Competition on Bank's Opacity: Empirical Analysis on Taiwanes Banks

[[abstract]] 本研究以1995年至2017年間台灣地區的銀行業為研究樣本，實證探討銀行競爭對不透明度的影響。實證結果指出當銀行市場力量愈大，即銀行競爭愈低，會顯著降低備抵呆帳的提列，意謂當銀行市場愈趨向於不競爭，會顯著降低銀行的透明度。此外，當銀行為金控銀行時，對銀行透明度的影響差異性為何？結果指出不論銀行為金控或非金控時，逾期放款比率愈高時，則會顯著提高銀行的備抵呆帳的提列。最後，當銀行為金控銀行時，其市場力量愈高會顯著較非金控銀行降低透明度。[[abstract]] This thesis uses the Taiwan banking industry over 1995 to 2017 as a sample to empirically explore the impact of banking competition on opacity.
