Russian bank data: Reasons of bank closure

Abstract

For every closed Russian bank I collect its closure reasons. I divide these reasons into categories and report them in the form of tags. The data come from online sources. Combined with Russian banks' financial statements, freely available on the Central Bank of Russia's website, this dataset provides ample possibilities for empirical research: on bank failure prediction models that take into account the after-the-fact revealed reasons of bank closure; on the extent, determinants, and effects of financial misreporting by Russian banks; on the relative performance of banks pursuing particular business models, such as captive banks.
