The Role of the Bank Orientation ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of the bank orientation on classical banking business, distinguishing between shareholder and stakeholder banks, and analyzes the preconditions for positive social welfare effects from the existence of stakeholder banks. For this reason we develop a theoretical bank decision model based on the utility approach and focus on the determination of the interest margin. Vis-à-vis previous studies, we connect to the recent literature on the agency view considering the lessons from recent financial developments. Moreover, we study the influence of the social mission on the bank pricing strategy, merging these two different fields for the first time. The results highlight the fundamental role of a strict and prudential regulation of the social mission as well as of the existence of internal and external control mechanisms, in order to avoid a misuse of stakeholder banks for distorting aims, to increase the system stability and to reduce market failures. Therefore, a correct implementation of these aspects represents a precondition for a positive contribution of stakeholder banks to the social welfare.

The Role of the Bank Orientation Pedrotti, M. 1. Introduction The shocks of the global financial crisis led to a reconsideration of the widely held perceptions about the superiority of certain forms of bank ownership and gave an impulse to the research in this field (Ayadi et al., 2010). In the past, cooperative and savings banks contributed to the economic and social progress of many countries and nowadays represent important elements of many financial systems. It is therefore important to investigate their business strategy with respect to the economic and social effects of their operations on different stakeholders. The aim of this study is to model the influence of the bank orientation on the bank pricing strategy, focusing on the credit and deposit business through the study of the interest margin. We make a distinction between shareholder and stakeholder banks with respect to their target function. Since shareholder banks aim at the maximization of shareholders interests through profit distribution, their target function maximizes the expected profits under the balance sheet constraint. On the contrary a stakeholder bank has to consider the profits and also in addition the claims of other stakeholders, which are modeled through the introduction in the utility function of a social component. This focuses on the stakeholder “customers” and measures the dimension of the opportunity costs for this category arising from the transaction with the bank1. This extension of the target function influences the optimal bank spread, represented by the interest margin. The results from the comparative statics show that the social component reduces the interest margin and thereby serves one of the stakeholder claims if and only if following aspects necessary for a sufficient efficiency grade are regulated2: - a detailed definition of the social mission; - a clear definition of the independence criteria for the bank management; - an internal supervisory board containing representatives of the stakeholders; - a stringent supervision from an external supervising authority of the bank’s risk exposition. If such requirements are not satisfied the achievement of the efficiency condition will be obstructed, so that the social component within the target function of stakeholder banks won’t produce the expected decrease in the interest margin. Section 2 summarizes the literature, section 3 presents the model framework and section 4 develops the comparative statics properties of the model and interprets the results. Section 5 summarizes and concludes. 2. Literature review and conceptual framework This work refers to two different research fields in banking studies; we shortly describe the literature of both sectors: (1) the interest margin and (2) the influence of bank orientation on the bank business model. 1 “Customers” represent only one of many groups of possible stakeholders of the bank. In addition to this group the literature usually considers other groups and their various claims, like for instance the regional economy, the local public institutions, the population and the workers (Brämer et al., 2010; Christen et al., 2007; Stiglitz et al., 1993). 2 In addition to the reduction of the interest margin the stakeholder claims usually consider also other aspects of the banking business, like for instance the availability of a sufficient variety of financial services for all the customers or the regional presence on the territory (Brämer et al., 2010). However, the consideration of different claims in the model framework would exponentially increase its complexity. For this reason, we concentrate our model analysis on the dimension of the opportunity costs as a representative claim of the stakeholder “customers” (Smith et al., 1981). At the later stage of the results’ interpretation we abstract from the concrete model parameters and refer to fundamental aspects of the stakeholder banking connected to the agency view (Shleifer and Vishny, 1997). Since these aspects are not specifically connected to the interest rates and concern the whole claims of the customers, the conclusions are generally applicable to all the claims of the stakeholder “customers”. 168 JEOD - Vol.3, Issue 1 (2014) A Model for the Interest Margin of a Risk-neutral Bank.

The group of shareholder banks consists of private profit-oriented banks, whereas cooperative and savings banks aim to satisfy the claims of their stakeholders and are therefore defined as stakeholders-oriented. In detail, cooperative banks usually focus on the member surplus and savings banks on the social welfare. Since we consider both kinds of stakeholder banks, we do not focus as in Smith et al. (1981) only on the claim of the members, but on the claim of the broader category “customers”. Therefore, the stakeholders banks on the social welfare. Since we consider both kinds of stakeholder banks, we do not focus as considered in the(1981) modelonly include, the withclaim respect banks, with voting rights in Smith of to thecooperative members, oncustomer-members the claim of the banks on et theal.social welfare.on Since we consider both kinds but of6 stakeholder banks, webroader do not category focus as in the assembly as well as customers without membership status . “customers”. considered include, with respect to in Smith et al.Therefore, (1981) onlythe on stakeholders the claim of the members,inbutthe on model the claim of the broader category cooperative banks, customer-members with voting rights in the assembly as well as customers “customers”.

The Role of the Bank Orientation Pedrotti, M. rents using privately owned banks as a mechanism20. On the contrary, in a democracy with public sector accountability and strict control procedures the distortion of resources for own personal advantage would be more difficult to implement and the positive role of public banks would be granted (Andrianova et al., 2010). Our finding of a direct connection between the institutional framework, the efficiency level and the welfare effect of stakeholder banks is in line with this approach to the agency view. Also according to the agency view, we subordinate a positive effect of the social component on the social welfare to an internal efficiency precondition, which guarantees that the reduction of the interest margin is possible only if the bank can produce a surplus from the investments on the money market21. Furthermore, in accordance with the agency view, we highlight the influence of an external and internal regulatory environment on the fulfillment of the social mission. Combining the results of our model with the conclusions from the agency view, we can state that in order to avoid a misuse of stakeholder banks for distorting aims and to reach a positive effect from the social component in banking the following four aspects regarding the regulatory environment are fundamental22: - a strict internal definition of the social mission must be included in the statute of the bank; - the statute of the bank must define strict independence criteria for the management, which protect it from external distorting influence; - within the bank’s governance structure an internal supervisory board containing representatives of the stakeholders must be created; - an external supervising authority must pursue a constant control of the bank’s risk exposition. The first aspect refers to the need of a concretization of the social mission in the bank’s statute through the determination of the considered stakeholders, of their claims and of the instruments adopted to fulfill them23. In our model and depending on the bank orientation this would correspond to the commitment for the bank to satisfy the claim of the borrowers/customers for mostly favorable deposits/credit rate conditions, which should be achieved through a reduction of the interest margin if the efficiency condition is satisfied. A concrete definition of the social aims as well as of the necessary preconditions for their fulfillment would enable a neutral external evaluation of the bank’s performance and an increase in the transparency level. Furthermore, the definition of independence criteria in the statute should protect the management from political influences, which would distort their activity from the achievement of the social mission. The third aspect regards the control of the management activity through reporting to an internal supervisory board, which should include representatives of the different stakeholders affected by the social mission. The direct inclusion of the affected stakeholders in the monitoring of the management activity would enable a control of the congruity between the guidelines in the statute and their practical implementation by the management. Moreover, this control mechanism would also increase the transparency level and the The developments in the American financial system represent an explanatory case of extracting private rents from private banks. In the last decades regulation was weakened and many private banks became public subsidies to overcome the financial crisis. At the same time the bank donations to political parties increased and many politicians became members of the boards of private banks, participating thereby to their increasing short term profits (Andrianova et al., 2010). 20 In other words, an increase of the social welfare through a reduction of the interest margin can take place only if the bank is able to extract a net positive rent from its investments on the money market, which is distributed to the stakeholder “Customers”. On the contrary, in case of a negative net rent, losses have to be covered by an increasing margin, what takes to increasing intermediation costs and a decrease in the social welfare. Through this mechanism, a neutral evaluation of the bank’s performance can take place and the transparency level of the activity of stakeholder banks is increased. 21 22 Here we abstract from the specific stakeholders “Customers” considered in the model (and their claim to most low opportunity costs from the transaction with the bank) and derive general conclusions applicable to different claims and stakeholders. Also Yeyati et al. (2004) underline the importance of the definition of the bank’s objective and mission for the success of a state-owned bank. 23 175 JEOD - Vol.3, Issue 1 (2014) A Model for the Interest Margin of a Risk-neutral Bank. The Role of the Bank Orientation Pedrotti, M. asymmetric information arisen from the principal-agent conflict could be reduced24. In our theoretical model this aspect would imply a reporting activity to representatives of the borrowers/customers about the determination of the interest margin and the explanation of its changes connected to the fulfillment of the efficiency condition. The last aspect considers the control for the risk exposition of the bank, which is represented in the model by the credit and the interest risk components and directly influences the efficiency condition25. Since an effective control requires specific skills and a reliable and long-term collection of hard data, the permanent monitoring of the risk measures should be pursued by an external supervising authority. In conclusion, thanks to these control mechanisms a distorting use of the bank resources could be limited and thereby a more efficient activity of the public bank would be granted. On the contrary, the lack of one of the four aspects would favor a misuse of the bank for purposes different from the stakeholder claims, distorting its resources from the original aims. As a result, a suboptimal contribution to the social welfare from the intervention of the stakeholder bank would be reached26. 5. Conclusions In this work we present a theoretical model for the study of the influence of the bank orientation on the classical banking business, adopting the interest margin as instrument. Extending the basic bank model of Gambacorta (2004) and considering the contributions of Barros and Modesto (1999) and Smith et al. (1981) we develop a one-period decision model for banks based on the utility approach, which is able to differentiate between shareholder and stakeholder banks. To our knowledge this is the first theoretical model that analyzes the relationship between the social mission and the bank pricing strategy, focusing on the conditions under which a stakeholder-orientation produces an increase in the social welfare. The results highlight the fundamental role of a strict and prudential regulation of the social mission as well as of the existence of internal and external control mechanisms, in order to avoid a misuse of stakeholder banks for distorting aims. We therefore refer to the literature on the agency view, particularly to its recent developments considering the lessons from the last financial crisis. The dramatic developments of the last years showed that an extreme profit orientation within the banking system can lead to the formation of massive agency conflicts by private banks and thereby endanger the stability of the entire financial system, producing giant social costs for bank rescues (Andrianova et al., 2010). The negative externalities deriving from an excessive profit orientation can be compensated by a stakeholder-orientation, which through a long-term multistage target system can help to increase the systems’ stability. Moreover, the consideration of the stakeholders’ claims can reduce the intermediation costs of the banking activity, positively contributing to a reduction of the market failures Also within the agency view a clear accounting and a constant evaluation of the mission fulfillment are defined as important preconditions for a reduction of the principal-agent conflicts and thereby for a successful intervention of state-owned banks (Yeyati et al., 2004; Andrianova et al., 2010). 24 An excessive increase in the risk exposition would hamper the fulfillment of the efficiency condition. Furthermore, it could also endanger the stability of the financial system (Andrianova et al., 2010). For this reason, their measurement should be subjected to an external supervision. 25 In our model, the fulfillment of these aspects would favour the achievement of a sufficient efficiency grade of the bank and the reduction of the opportunity costs would be facilitated. On the contrary, the failing of one of these aspects would reduce the bank’s transparency, favoring an increase in the cost components and taking to suboptimal level of the interest margin. 26 176 JEOD - Vol.3, Issue 1 (2014) A Model for the Interest Margin of a Risk-neutral Bank.

In order to empirically prove the validity of the results, we will pursue an empirical study of the interest margin within the German and the Italian banking markets. The particular developments of both banking markets during the last decades offer us a useful sample for the analysis of the influence of banking regulation on the functioning of the social component.
