This is the dataset we used to investigate the simultaneous relationship among bank capital, risk and profitability, taking into account bank ownership and the emergence of Pan-African cross-border banks.
The data contains hand-collected bank level data from all the 8 countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries for the period 2000-2014.
The countries are split into lower middle-income (LMICs) and low-income (LICs) according to the World Bank classification.
In addition to bank level data, there is data on macroeconomic aggregates for the 8 countries.
