The paper also identifies and discusses five major research clusters: i) bank efficiency, ii) corporate governance and disclosure, iii) performance and risk-taking, iv) systemic risk, bank stability and risk spillovers, and v) intellectual capital. Finally, it identifies gaps in the literature and highlights some important research issues that provide directions for future research.
