| Abstract: | Using data on Irish loan funds, a 19th century quasi-bank system, it is explored how the capital structure affects managerial agency to impact non-interest expenses. These organizations had no equity-holders being financed by deposits and 'capital', comprising donations and accumulated profits, creating problems of managerial moral hazard. Higher net income is associated with higher salaries and other non-interest expenses. More surprisingly, higher 'capital'-deposit ratios led to higher expenses even after controlling for net income. |
