    Banking system resilience and stability: constructing a composite indicator for developed countries
    (Emerald, 2019-10-14) Ruza Paz-Curbera, Cristina::virtual::3934::600; Cuesta González, Marta María de la::virtual::3935::600; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego::virtual::3936::600; Ruza Paz-Curbera, Cristina; Cuesta González, Marta María de la; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego; Ruza Paz-Curbera, Cristina; Cuesta González, Marta María de la; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego; Ruza Paz-Curbera, Cristina; Cuesta González, Marta María de la; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego
    The aim of this paper is to empirically appraise the health of banking systems by applying a new theoretical framework based on complex system theories. For doing so we propose a composite indicator for analysing the resilience and stability of banking systems for a group of advanced economies including the group of G7 countries, Spain and Portugal. The empirical results reveal quite different patterns in the aftermath of the financial crises. While some countries have improved its relative position within the ranking, we find others evolving just in the opposite direction. The main purpose of the indicator is not to make predictions of future banks’ behaviour, but rather to use it as an early warning system for policymakers and supervisors in identifying signs of weakness, as well as a useful tool to identify the best practices.

    Banks and financial discrimination: what can be learnt from the spanish experience?
    (Springer, 2019-04-15) Fernández Olit, Beatriz; Ruza Paz-Curbera, Cristina; Cuesta González, Marta María de la; Matilla García, Mariano
    The paper analyses the phenomenon of financial discrimination that have been identified in many developed countries in the aftermath of the financial crisis. We would consider the process of quality worsening in the provision of banking products and services as part of the increasing problem of financial exclusion, which should consider not only the physical access to branches but also the difficulties of use of banking services and products. Our primary concern is focused on the collective of vulnerable customers, so we have carried out an analysis at a micro-scale (urban districts and municipalities) to identify the main determinants of the financial discrimination of territories according to their socioeconomic profile. This study constitutes a first attempt to analyse financial discrimination in the provision of banking products and services at an urban micro-scale. We have considered as good references the cases of Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, large urban territories with high level of social inequality. The methodology that had been applied is quantile regressions, useful technique for analysing the ‘extreme’ nature of the phenomenon of financial discrimination. Our results confirm that the more overloaded branches are settled in districts characterised by a lower socioeconomic profile, indicating a banking industry trend towards ‘low-cost’ retail banking to serve the group of less profitable – more vulnerable customers. Some recommendations are outlined for policymakers in line with the aims and scope of the Payment Accounts Directive of the European Union.

    Are social and financial exclusion two sides of the same coin? An analysis of the financial integration of vulnerable people
    (Springer, 2018) Fernández Olit, Beatriz; Paredes Gázquez, Juan Diego; Cuesta González, Marta María de la
    The economic crisis has increased the inequality and heterogeneity of people at risk of social exclusion, and thus their financial vulnerability. This article reviews the literature on the determinants of unbanking and underbanking and proposes a model linking financial and social exclusion. We aimed to determine if people at risk of poverty and social exclusion are integrated -and to what extent- in the financial system. To answer this question, we identified the demographic and the social exclusion factors that determine both the status of financial vulnerability and the use of banking services. We used multivariate analysis methods to analyze the information from the survey on social vulnerability conducted by the Red Cross Spain in 2015. Our results show a negative relationship between the risk of social exclusion and the intensity of use of banking services. This leads to financial vulnerability and exclusion in the most extreme situations. We suggest that underbanking is the most relevant - but not previously studied- situation of financial vulnerability in Europe and discuss its implications for policymakers. This paper contributes to the measurement of the link between financial and social exclusion, and is the first quantitative study on the use of banking products by vulnerable people in a European context.

    Corporate tax disclosure on a CSR basis: a new reporting framework in the post-BEPS era
    (Emerald Publishing, 2019-09-25) Cuesta González, Marta María de la; Pardo Herrasti, Eva
    Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the emerging discourse on corporate taxation from a corporate social responsibility perspective to develop a consensual definition of corporate tax responsibility (CTR) and to identify a set of indicators that firms should publicly communicate to their stakeholders as an accountability mechanism. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with representatives of stakeholders closely related to taxation: tax authorities, companies, NGOs, tax advisors and academics. Based on a discourse analysis approach, data were coded and analyzed using computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. Findings CTR is defined as the set of tax-related practices and policies that allow companies to pay a fair share of taxes as a function of the generated value in each jurisdiction in which they operate and to then publicly disclose them. Disclosure should cover disaggregated quantitative data and information on practices and policies. Originality/value Despite the wealth of research on sustainability reporting and increasing public awareness of tax aggressiveness and disclosure, academic research has not explored tax-responsible reporting. Moreover, no consensual definition of CTR has been formulated, and no indicators to properly account for responsible taxation have been identified. This paper contributes to filling these gaps by providing rich interview evidence regarding the nature of the emerging discourse on CTR reporting and a set of material indicators for CTR disclosure. This paper encourages researchers to foster the development of social accountability by engaging in future empirical studies of CTR.
