The Sources and Consequences of Bank Behaviour

Abstract

The previous chapters have shown that this book is an attempt to understand and analyse Australian exceptionalism, to demonstrate the utility of the SIA framework utilising interactions among structures, institutions and agents with special reference to its application to the Australian bank behaviour in a comparative perspective. The aim is to spark a debate towards sufficient understanding of differences and similarities in bank behaviour and institutional outcomes within and across varieties of capitalism. The conceptual framework offered suggests a perspective that incorporates interactions between various structural and institutional complementarities and agents and their impact on bank behaviour and socioeconomic performance.
