Robustness Check for LICs: Using Annual Average Variables 330 $aWe analyze factors driving persistently higher financial intermediation costs in low-income countries (LICs) relative to emerging market (EMs) country comparators. Using the net interest margin as a proxy for financial intermediation costs at the bank level, we find that within LICs a substantial part of the variation in interest margins can be explained by bank-specific factors: margins tend to increase with higher riskiness of credit portfolio, lower bank capitalization, and smaller bank size. Overall, we find that concentrated market structures and lack of competition in LICs banking system 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/12/140. 606 $aIntermediation (Finance)$zDeveloping countries$xEconometric models 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntermediation (Finance)$xEconometric models. 701 $aPoghosyan$b Tigran$0873351 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bStrategy, Policy, and Review Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453034703321 996 $aFinancial intermediation costs in low-income countries$92095142 997 $aUNINA
