Abstract
Using Bankscope data, this thesis seeks to analyze the determinants of commercial bank profitability in Poland and Slovakia during 1999-2011 and shed light on whether profitability was impacted differently during the financial crisis period (2008-2011). This study will utilize both OLS and a Fixed Effects estimation technique. The goal of this paper is to expand on the analysis of Ommeren (2011), Dietrich and Wanzenried (2011) and other literature to more accurately draw some conclusions about the commercial banking sector as a whole. The explanatory variables include the traditional variables used in other studies to represent bank-specific and industry-specific factors and external macroeconomic factors.
