Equity Returns in the Banking Sector in the Wake of the Great Recession and the European Sovereign Debt Crisis / Jorge Chan-Lau, Estelle Liu, Jochen M. Schmittmann.

While the equity return performance in the banking sector has been dismal in general, better capitalized and less leveraged banks have outperformed their peers, a finding that supports policymakers' efforts to strengthen bank capitalization.
