Abstract :

The purpose of the research is to investigate the effect of the CEO's bonus and excess cash reserves on the risk-taking of banks admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange.Research methodology: The statistical population of this research is among the banks accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange, during the period of 1390 to 1400. In order to check the validity of the research hypotheses, multivariate regression based on mixed data with fixed effects and EViews 11 software was usedResearch findings: The results of the research hypotheses showed that the CEO's bonus has a significant and positive effect on the banks risk-taking. Also, excess cash reserves have a significant and negative effect on banks' risk-taking.Discussion and conclusion: Granting stock options in the form of bonuses to the CEO creates more risk-taking behaviors in banks and makes it easier to use the tools and monetary policies available to the central bank. According to the researcher, the existing monetary policies for the central bank can provide an effective mechanism to curb the moral risks of risk-taking in banks, which will promote lending and eliminate asset price bubbles Also, the effects of excess reserves on banks' risk-taking are reversed by changing the central bank's monetary policy rates. Access to abundant liquidity is the main source of credit risk, and the impact of excess reserves on risk-taking is subject to changes in the Central Bank's monetary policy in Iran.
