Impact of regulations on the performance of banks- a bibliometric analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the publication trends in banking regulations (as defined by the Basel Accords) influencing the growth and performance of banks across geographical regions and suggest possible future research opportunities. A bibliometric analysis is undertaken to study the publication trends over a period of three decades. The network linkages have been explored by means of science mapping techniques. Various indicators, such as most-cited authors, citation analysis, h-index, affiliations, and funding sponsors, have been used. Identification of research hubs provides opportunities for research collaboration and knowledge sharing among nations. The research pattern observed can be utilised in the creation of regulatory frameworks for integrated and seamless cross-border financial transactions. The findings indicate an urgent need for more research on banking regulations and supervision and how they influence the performance of the banks, especially in emerging markets.
