| description | This paper examines the role of board structure and ownership concentration on bank risktaking of public listed commercial banks in Malaysia from 2001 to 2012. The study focuses

2000. Using two-market model to estimate the risk of the commercial banks in Malaysia,
the results suggest that higher ownership concentration and larger board size resulted
in higher bank risk-taking of the listed commercial banks in Malaysia. Given that the
board structure is an important element of bank risk-taking, regulators should continue to
enhance the monitoring of banks (where board size is large and ownership concentration
is high) to control the banks’ potential for excessive risk taking |
