Performance of eleventh district banks in 1989: progress but not profits
Clair, Robert T. (1990-09)
Commercial banks in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District reduced their losses substantially in 1989 but still collectively reported a loss for the year. The improvement primarily resulted from increases in fee income. In addition, Eleventh District banks reduced their nonperforming loans and the costs associated with these loans. Despite the improvement, District banks still have relatively large holdings of nonperforming loans and repossessed real estate. ; Balance sheets of Eleventh District banks show the effects of correcting the problems of low-quality assets. Charging off nonperforming ...

Loan growth and loan quality: some preliminary evidence from Texas banks
Clair, Robert T. (1992-07)
Following the failures of depository institutions in the 1980s, many analysts concluded that the rapid growth of lending activity and the deterioration of loan quality were related. Robert T. Clair tests this relationship after separating loan growth by its source: increased lending to new or existing customers, bank mergers, and acquisitions of failed banks. The preliminary evidence suggests that additional lending to new or existing customers beyond what might be normal at a given stage of the business cycle lowers loan quality after a three-year lag. This relationship, based on evidence ...
