Data source: Bank Ownership Around the World
The dataset in the paper "Bank Ownership Around the World" comprises detailed information on over 6,500 banks from 181 countries, spanning from 1995 to 2020. It includes data on both state and foreign bank ownership, focusing on the proportion of each bank owned by government entities or foreign investors.
The dataset is utilized to examine the impact of bank ownership on various economic and financial metrics, such as GDP growth, financial depth, bank performance, and response to domestic and international economic shocks.
Note: The variable 'FOR1_DB,' originally present in the dataset, was removed due to the absence of description.
