2 2 Online Appendix Table A1 Addition to Table 5 Regression Results This table reports in Panel A1 and A2, Model I in Panel B, and Panels C and D results from logit regressions of bankruptcy indicators on predictor variables. All variables are defined in Table 1. Robust standard errors are employed and clustered at the bank level. Model II in Panel B shows results of a probit regression model with sample selection following Heckman (1979) and includes standard errors derived via the Huber (1967) White (1980) sandwich estimator, clustered at the bank level. The selection equation is Corporate Governance Data available = α + β 1*ln(Assets) + β 2*(ln(Assets)) 2 + β 3*Real Estate Loans + β 5*Cumulative Operating Income from 2004:Q1- + β 5*Agricultural Loans + β 6*Commercial Loans + β 7*Individual Loans+ β 8*Public Bank + β 9*Multibank Holding Company + β 10*OCC + β 11*FED, where the operating income and the loan variables are employed relative to a bank s total assets and total loans, respectively. We also report the results for the Wald test of no sample selection bias, i.e. the p-value for the null of no correlation between the errors of the selection equation and the regression model. SIFIs (systemically important financial institutions) in Panel C are defined as banks with assets larger than $50bn. in at least one quarter in our time period. The statistical significance of results is indicated by * = 10% level, ** = 5% level and *** = 1% level. Panel A1: Variation of Specifications in Panel A Total Assets ($-Thd.)

8 8 Online Appendix Table A2 Addition to Table 7 Regression Results for Accounting Measures of Bank Risk This table reports results for measures of bank risk using data from 2004:Q1 to 2010:Q3. The measures are the capital ratio, non-performing loans to total assets, the return on assets (RoA), all defined as in Table 1, as well as the non-interest income to total assets as reported on the balance sheet and the natural logarithm of the Z- score. The natural logarithm of the Z-score is defined as the sum of the capital ratio and the RoA divided by the standard deviation of the RoA over the previous 8 quarters. All Panels report cross-sectional regression results of risk measures on control variables measured in. To account for potential endogeneity we also show specifications excluding in Panel A the capital ratio, in Panel B Non-perform. Loans/Assets, in Panel C the capital ratio and the return on assets, and in Panel D the return on assets. For the derivation of the respective dependent variables at the bank-level we use the period 2007:Q1 to 2010:Q3 and in Panels B1 and B3 quarterly differences of the Capital Ratio and the natural logarithm of the Z-score, respectively, where all other panels use quarterly data of non-performing loans to total assets, the return on assets and non-interest income to total assets, respectively. For the kurtosis we use the excess kurtosis. Standard errors are robust to heteroscedasticity and statistical significances indicated by * = 10% level, ** = 5% level and *** = 1%.
