The promise and challenges of bank capital reform
Elul, Ronel (2013-07)
The failure and bailout of some prominent financial institutions amid the crisis of 2007-09, and the effect these events had on the economy as a whole, have led policymakers to rethink how the global financial system is regulated. These changes, commonly known as the Basel III Accords, will require banks to maintain more capital in reserve, hold higher-quality capital, and assign greater risk weights to certain types of assets.

Disclosure, volatility, and transparency: and empirical investigation into the value of bank disclosure
Nier, Erlend; Baumann, Ursel (2004-09)
The authors suggests that banks that are more forthcoming on basic balance-sheet items exhibit lower stock price volatility. About 600 banks in thirty-one countries over the 1993-2000 period are covered.

Will the proposed application of Basel II in the United States encourage increased bank merger activity? evidence from past merger activity
Pilloff, Steven J.; Hannan, Timothy H. (2004)
This paper presents two tests of the hypothesis that adoption of the internal ratings-based approach to determining minimum capital requirements, as proposed in applying the Basel II capital accord in the United States, will cause adopting banking organizations to increase acquisition activity. The first test estimates the relationship between excess regulatory capital and subsequent merger activity, including organization and time fixed effects, while the second test employs a "difference in difference" analysis of the change in merger activity that occurred the last time regulatory ...
