Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Bank Income Smoothing, Societal Patriarchy and Policy Uncertainty
ABSTRACT Using a sample of 745 banks from 26 OECD countries over the period 1997–2023, we investigate the moderating effects of societal patriarchy on bank income smoothing (IS), amidst policy uncertainty (PU). Results indicate that in periods of high PU, banks operating in highly patriarchal societies tend to curtail the use of loan loss provisions ...
