SME development banks: conceptual framework and empirical analysis
International Journal of Financial Research, 2018•iris.uniroma1.it
In this paper we develop a conceptual framework to define small and medium-sized
enterprise development banks (SMEDB). This conceptual effort is motivated by the lack of a
clear definition of SMEDB. Once a consistent definition of SMEDB is provided, we compare a
sample of banks that are SMEDB according to such definition with a sample of commercial
banks. We conclude that it is possible to separate SMEDB from commercial banks in a
statistically significant manner by taking into consideration a set of relevant financial …

Abstract
In this paper we develop a conceptual framework to define small and medium-sized enterprise development banks (SMEDB). This conceptual effort is motivated by the lack of a clear definition of SMEDB. Once a consistent definition of SMEDB is provided, we compare a sample of banks that are SMEDB according to such definition with a sample of commercial banks. We conclude that it is possible to separate SMEDB from commercial banks in a statistically significant manner by taking into consideration a set of relevant financial indicators and we confirm the widespread idea that SMEDB play a crucial public/social role.
