Transformations in the Ownership Structure of Credit Unions: Banking Service Rates and the Expectations of Members and Directors by Bruno José Canassa, Davi Rogério de Moura Costa, Carlos Alberto Grespan Bonacim

“…Following the logic that they are motivated by the expectations of members and directors, this study associates these transformations with the banking services rates offered by credit unions. We employ ordered and multinomial logit models to investigate whether abnormal positive bank spreads-reflecting rates that could offer few advantages to members and large private benefits to directors-increase the probability of transformation. …”
